That's an affectation by those who probably think British English is superior to American English.

Hammer meets the nail!

I can't stand American’s using the word “ whilst “. Absolutely phony and I will can out anyone using it in a sentence in front of me.

Another one: “ Are you waiting in the queue? “.
