Why Britney Spears is ruining a generation of spellers

A few weeks ago, the band released a cover of Britney Spears's "Till the World Ends."



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.

Yes. Best part is when everyone boos the security guard in the mall haha. Ok, so... wondering what FJ has been up to? SO MUCH. Hope you all got a chance to check out our acoustic cover of "Till the World Ends" by Britney Spears (posted below if you haven't). I have to admit - I really love the single. Finally, pop is just diving into electronic music instead of carefully tip-toeing around a couple synthesized beats. For that reason and because it's just such a simple, well-written pop song, I like it.

What else have we been up to? Here's the list:

-FREE MUSIC. Everything we've recorded is available for free download at www.findingjupiter.com/freestuff

-Norah cover (finally done recording/mixing, stay tuned for the release!)

-"Roses" recording (original we wrote earlier this year, laying down the track this month, wahoo!)

-GIGS. We've got a few coming up this month, so check out the "upcoming gigs" section on our main page at www.findingjupiter.com
