Give me till tomorrow...

Mr. TomHiIs the use of "give me till tomorrow" OK in written and spoken English?I'll gladly do your work, but please give me till tomorrow to fish it out.OrCan you please give me till Wednesday?Thanks,Tom

"Give me till" is fine. Personally, I never use "till"; I use "until".

CJ

Thanks, CJ!

So this is fine, too?

Mother - John, did you speak to the plumber?
John - I did -- but he asked me to give me until Friday.

Tom

Mr. TomSo this is fine, too?Mother - John, did you speak to the plumber?John - I did -- but he asked me to give me until Friday.

The last part is anomalous. I think you mistyped it. Plus, you've left out some of the story that goes along with this dialog.

It's fine as shown below (provided this is what you meant):

Mother - John, did you spe

Thanks again.

Yes, it was a typo. I meant him. I left out the rest because I assumed that Mother would understand John's reply without it? Must I put it?

Tom

Mr. TomMust I put it?

No! For maximum clarity that kind of information should be put in your post before you present the dialog, not IN the dialog.
