Has anyone ever heard of this?
However, I would say that it is more common in written English (although that may be due to the fact that the usage of ‘whilst’ in spoken English can often go unnoticed).A bunch of people in my office believe that “whilst” should be pronounced very differently than “while”. To Americans, whilst is a Britishism only.I use whilst and whilst.
store? It’s not like “whom” which might be correct, but always sounds stilted to me unless it’s in a stock phrase like “To whom it may concern”This is an extremely interesting conversation. To me the word is completely archaic even in England and therefore any appropriate usage would be ironic/sarcastic.Both words have a place and I don’t believe they ARE entirely interchangeable – I think Cat and Miguele define it pretty well and that Mand is wrong (sorry!). “Although” may’ve fit as well.

While or Whilst Most Americans find whilst quaint, old-fashioned, or literary. in the sense of at the same time.“Whilst” can be used in the same way as while but can also be used when the writer is trying to emphasise a difference between the two ideas they are linking together e.g. I also think it strange that anyone could consider the use of the word ‘whilst’ as being posh or pompous – it’s simply a word in the English language which has its place. I use “whilst” because (a) it is as correct as using “while” and (b) I’ve always used “whilst”. There is another word whilst that is used to express the same meaning. She wasn’t British.) But you can’t always use whilst instead of while.. (I grew up with my Mother’s (British) English dictionary.
