Pet Peeves again

Okay, this is one that bugs me all the time. "I'll party till I drop." It's the "till" part that bothers me. It should be 'til as far as I know--it's short for "until" and other contractions in English get that lovely little apostrophe.

My all-time shuddersomeness (is that a word?) comes for "alright." I DETEST this non-word. The phrase is "all right". Two words. Two Ls. Does my hatred for this nonword mark me as a complete spelling geek? If so, then I'm a complete spelling geek. I admit it openly and revel in it.
