Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?

It's fucking "'til" not "tell".
'til is short for "until".
Please stop saying "Let's wait tell later to do that".
I've seen people use till, when they mean 'til, but never seen tell. That's just weird.
People say that? 🤔
Maybe it's an oral thing and I don't have enough meetings with English speakers...
Same here, dont think I've once heard or seen that (exceptions being genuine spelling mistakes). Not gonna automatically call them a liar because I haven't experienced it though, could be the communities or area they're in.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is actually “till” and “till” is not short for “until” (and “‘til” is not a word). “Until” actually came from “till”.

I’ve never heard anyone say “tell” to mean “till” so I won’t comment on that.
No, that's GOOD news.
Learning is a good thing.
Fascinating stuff.
Thank you 😊
Their are other misteaks people make aswell, alot of people don't know english good.
