「I worked till noon.」と「I worked until noon.」の違いは、時間の表現方法にあります。
「I worked till noon.」は、時間を示す際に「till」を使い、特定の時間までの期間を表します。この表現は、時間の終了点を強調する際に使われます。
例: 彼は昨日、昼まで働いた。
"I worked till noon yesterday."
一方、「I worked until noon.」は、「until」を使って時間を表し、特定の時間までの期間を示します。この表現は、時間の継続や終了点を含む期間を表す際に使われます。
例: 彼は昨日、昼まで働いた。
"I worked until noon yesterday."
したがって、両者の違いは、時間の表現方法にあります。どちらも時間の終了点を示す際に使われますが、「till」は終了点を強調し、「until」は継続や終了点を含む期間を示す点が異なります。

Aibunni is correct, they’re the same word. British people often spell the abbreviation “till” but Americans usually spell it “til”. They both mean until
