until only has one l.

Use until to describe how long you (or someone else) waited in terms of waiting for something to happen.

I waited until my brother was ready.
The children waited until the bus arrived.
The students waited until the teacher entered the class room.

Or if you are not waiting, you could be doing something else up to the time when something happens.

We played cards until the other guests arrived.
We watched TV until my wife called us for dinner.
The men continued to work until it was time for lunch.

Use unless to describe an exception:

I will be there at 7 o'clock unless you want me to come earlier.
Mary and Helen are going to take a walk on Monday unless it rains.
The owner allows anyone to enter unless they are younger than 18 years old.

Use would rather to say what you prefer.

I would rather see a movie than attend a concert.
I would rather go with you now than wait for the others.
The guests would rather play games first and eat later.
