I am by no means an English snob, but I am seriously starting to become increasingly enraged by the blogosphere’s use of the word "whilst". In my 34 years on this earth I have never known a man or woman using the word "whilst" that wasn’t a complete dickhead. Now it seems like a cultural phenomenon.
Okay, English people get a pass. Maybe. But if you’re a beer swilling MCM (‘merican cash money) type, stop using "whilst" immediately. I know that you want to seem smarter than you really are. But you aren’t. SO STOP.
