Till 2019, <1 % of total rail in US was electrified according to Wikipedia? Is this true; considering that US was a world leader in terms of rail transport upto WW II, why the abysmally low numbers? I know that privatisation of rail networks and car centred cities makes life tough for rails, but 1 % is abysmally low for a developed nation.

In contrast, China is at 75% and India is at 93% respectively and both of them also have giant railway networks.

Till

‘til*, short for “until.”

Sorry to be that asshole but it’s frustrating how often this is misused.

You are wrong, till is perfectly fine – and so is til. See Merriam-Websters article about this, at https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/should-you-use-until-or-till-or-til
