I hate it when that happens

Guess what? I was informed today I've been using the wrong word in a sentence my whole life. I've always been told that Until is spelled with one l. That's right. But then I was told that the shortened until was spelled till. It turns out that to till means to 'till the land to prepare the soil for crops'. And now in all the stories I've written and all the diary entrées and all those other things I've used the word 'til (which is the proper spelling) wrong. Oh, well. I gotta go. Happy read across America day (read the last post if you don't get it),

I always spelled it till and probably always will. With all the other shortenings of words like "wut" and luv", I wouldn't be worried about adding an extra "l".
