    Until / til / till

    Comment
    Ich weiß nicht, ob ich hier im richtigen Forum bin. Ich möchte eigentlich nur wissen, ob man die "Kurzform" von "until" "til" oder "till" schreibt. Oder evtl. sogar mit ' for dem t?

    Danke.

    It's till (although you sometimes also see 'til).

    "Till and until are generally interchangeable in both writing and speech, though as the first word in a sentence until is usually preferred: Until you get that paper written, don't even think about going to the movies. · Till is actually the older word, with until having been formed by the addition to it of the prefix un-, meaning "up to." In the 18th century the spelling 'till became fashionable, as if till were a shortened form of until. Although 'till is now nonstandard, 'til is sometimes used in this way and is considered acceptable, though it is etymologically incorrect."

    Till ist die ältere Form, dann gibt es noch until, til und til'. 'til ist relativ neu und viele Style Guides und Lexika sagen auch falsch.
