Two date

At first I thought it had to do with cash registers. People using “till” in place of “‘til” or “until” drives me crazy.

(Also, using “a” like in “two times a year” creeps me out too. Sure, I say “a year” but in writing it looks sloppy.)

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"till" and "til" are both absolutely fine to use as an abbreviation for "until"

In fact the double-L spelling has been around longer

[–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 2 points 2 months ago

Because right now in 2024 we have the word “until” (one L) so using the word till as an abbreviation looks dumb as shit.

huh? so you say "two times year"? that's crazier.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why would you assume they say nothing instead of the correct word, per?

[–] grubberfly@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Because they only mentioned what creeps them out, offering no option (hence my comment) instead of the «correct» one.

plus my mind blanked, heh

Nope
