Grammar and Punctuation The Blue Book of Grammar and Punctuation

Till, 'Til

Always use till. You won't find a reference book anywhere that recommends 'til. Writer John B. Bremner declares brusquely, "Either till or until, but not 'til."

It's natural to assume that 'til is a contraction of until. However, till predates until by several centuries.
