They can be used interchangeably as prepositions or conjunctions, I'm pretty sure.

'till, is just a shortened version of Until.

'till is just less formal.

Didn't even notice I did that, lol. Guess it's just one of those habits. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll try to stop it

i wasn't calling you out specifically or anything, to be clear. apparently till came before 'til, so till and till were both used and no one cared. makes no cents to me

Oh, I wasn't offended or anything. I enjoy things like that. For example, I was going to end that right there, but I didn't add the period. I was told many years ago that people find ending something with a period seems to make others think the conversation is over, so they often stop talking. If you don't end it with a period, they are more likely to keep talking with you.

I almost never end my posts with a period because I always hope that more people will talk to me so I won't be so lonely
