Can someone explain me the difference between "till" and "until"?
Thanks

"Till" (often shortened to non-standard ) is a variant of "until" that is acceptable at all levels of language. "Until" is often preferred at the beginning of a sentence in formal writing. Compare: Until his behaviour improves, he cannot become a member.
