Do people from London really say "whilst"?

[Registered]

Looks like it. LOL.

[GVnana]

Shall we give him some addresses whilst we laugh?

[wideawake]

Only 700 people live in Crawford.

I'll bet you could call the local DNC in Waco, TX which is 20 miles away.

I'm sure any Democrats in Crawford would be locatable by the official Democrat organization in Waco.

[T Minus Four]

Yes, shall we?

[Drammach]

Clarification is needed...
This brit's ideas of "democratic" may differ from our american descriptions..

Then, on the other hand, having an even handed FRepublican hosting him might provide some insight into the american political process he has never seen before..

Whilst I shall be crossing the state to gain an overall insight

That might take a while. I moved once from Houston to Los Angeles in a U-Haul truck. After two days on the road, we finally got to El Paso Tx. Checking the map, we discovered that El Paso Tx is about the half way point between Houston and Los Angeles.

Know any local color?

Don't send him there!

Do people from London really say "whilst"?

I don't see why not. I do, and I'm just a fella from Texas. The beauty of the english language is its sheer breadth. We have words that describe anything, and aren't too proud to borrow from other languages when we find one elsewhere that gives that extra bit of nuance that is needed for a particular situation. Heck, we'll make it up on the spot if it results in a word that better describes things than what is readily available in our vocabulary. (i.e., "blogger")

[Revolting cat!]

Is 'whilst' one a-those unpronounceable Czech words?

[T Minus Four]

to focus upon the Democrat challenge in 'Bush country'.

[T Minus Four]

Sorry, wish I did, it could be fun.

I understand that the Abilene Kinko's maintains a roster of central Texas Democrats.

LOL all 3 of them.

[tubebender]

Is there a state prison nearby...

[T Minus Four]

Well, I'm well educated and have a more than adequate vocabulary, but I fail to find the nuance in "whilst" that is unavailable in "while". Unless the nuance is that the speaker is snobby, LOL!
