Ah, Webster – the guy who rewrote American and the Dictionary that first equated Figurative with Literal.
It’s logically unsound.
Remembering that Dictionaries don’t tell you what’s right, only what’s popular at best, and that Webster is about the worst there, It’s not a great reference. And if we trusted the mob to decide how to spell and pronounce words, you and I would be MUCH better at the head-wobble – popularity as a mechanism for evolution would have refactored a LOT of pronunciation and spelling a while ago.
The abbreviation of “until” is " 'til ". I know this because it’s an abbreviation, and “until” doesn’t have two Ls.
A till is a cash drawer. What are you selling?!?
I used to think that as well, but this is also standard usage: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/should-you-use-until-or-till-or-til
