I think you'll find that "till" is not from "until".That's confused me now
Stupid English.
It's like the word "till", taken from "until", the extra "l" never made any sense to me. So is won't "will not", it must be actually. "I won't sleep with directhex" - "I will not sleep with directhex". Yup, fits.
"till" is a shop till, used to hold money and make us laugh on those police video shows as some muppet struggles to open one.
The word you want is " 'til ", which is the abbreviation of until... so chop off the 'un' and stick an apostrophe before the 'til'.
eg. "The till is broken so you'll have to wait 'til it's fixed before I can take any money"
Amen
CD's bugs the crap out of me, as does any wrongly used apostrophe - it does not belong to the CD, idiot;
More then is another one but I think that's more of an Americanism;
There's more, but I'd get banned.
'Addicting' that REALLY winds me up...
Even more wound up now FireFox's spell checker hasn't picked up on it, meaning someone has decided it is a word... even though FireFox, according to it's own spell-checker, isn't a word!
Unfortunately that's in the OED:
Hence a'ddicting ppl. a. = ADDICTIVE a.
1939 [see ADDICTIVE a.]. 1965 Listener 23 Sept. 465/1 Lysergic acid..is not addicting. 1970 Nature 22 Aug. 773/2 The use of methadone, a synthetic drug that is addicting..is on the increase in New York. 1984 A. HAILEY Strong Medicine IV. xvi. 397 It was not addicting. Incredibly, adverse reports about its effect were almost nil.
Hey guys.
That's a constructive bit of lurking right there....

A lot of bad grammar annoys me intensely, even more so when I catch myself doing it.
