        Not proper but it scans as “wait till”, as “til”, “till”, and “until” are interchangeable in common English, “till” being a somewhat archaic but still often used version.

          Interesting

          The preposition till is ubiquitous in informal register of modern English; nonetheless, in formal register it is often replaced with until or to, except in some varieties, such as Indian English. This predisposition is likely influenced by the widespread misapprehension that till is a clipping of until, which it is not (until being an enhanced form of till). The spelling 'til, itself also deprecated by some writers, was born of that same misapprehension.

            It’s a fairly common. I think YingYang Twins used it in a popular song. “Wait’ll you see this dick”

      You’re too late. ICE has already arrested people with Native American IDs, claiming they are invalid.
