At least they wrote "'til" with one L. I'll give them a pass here, as it's an increasingly rare bit of adequacy.

I don't know whether it ever took hold in the US, but "till" without an apostrophe is valid in the UK and not only is it not a contraction of "until", it predates it and is the root of the word.

It's also valid (and the standard form) in the U. S.

But the assumption it's a contraction of "until" has been around for a while, I think.
