I like our cover, and I must admit that I do enjoy the original. But as a writer, the thing that really pisses me off about this song is its name. Why?
Till is NOT A WORD.
Put simply, 'til is an abbreviation for until. The apostrophe replaces the un.
Britney isn't the first to think that it should be spelled till, but she's probably the most prominent. If "...Baby One More Time" birthed a generation of rebelliously sexy tweenagers, "Till the World Ends" will probably birth a flood of terrible spellers.
And this is what is wrong with pop culture--no copy editors.
**EDIT**
My friend pointed this out to me:

I absolutely never thought I would be schooled by Britney Spears, but I definitely maintain that I vastly prefer 'til to till as a personal/stylistic choice.
