minus-squareundefined@links.hackliberty.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-23 days agoAt first I thought it had to do with cash registers. People using “till” in place of “‘til” or “until” drives me crazy. (Also, using “a” like in “two times a year” creeps me out too. Sure, I say “a year” but in writing it looks sloppy.)
