Till

‘til*, short for “until.”

Sorry to be that asshole but it’s frustrating how often this is misused.

You are wrong, till is perfectly fine – and so is til. See Merriam-Websters article about this, at https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/should-you-use-until-or-till-or-til

this might be a regional thing. I've never once in my life seen it spelled that was. to me til had only ever been an acronym for "today I learned"
