This year at PFFA, I learned that in Britain people use the word whilst in everyday conversation.

After years in England, I could have mentioned that to you. But now I shant.

I got chewed out in one of my classes for using whilst in my writing, in the right context no less. Teacher didn't like that I was making him sound dumb.

Hmm, I could see myself using it in the right circumstances, but it's not a word I use on a regular basis. Of course, technically I'm not 'people in Britain' any longer.
