Till & Until

As prepositions/conjunctions, is it safe to say that these are absolutely synonymous?

I'm not talking about till as a noun or a verb. That is something else.

Their denotations are the same but their uses are slightly different. "'Til" is less formal than "until".

Please note that the prior poster provided 'til as an alternative. That is indeed a shortened version of until. The word you asked about was till. This word is at least 800 years old, and is quite correct in any context.
