That’s how I feel about “amongst,” as in “talk amongst yourselves.” In fact, when I *say* it, as opposed to writing it, I’m thinking it “amoungst,” lol - but you’d never know it.
I like Briticism, save for... “whilst”. It’s like fingernails on the proverbial blackboard. I think it’s because a Canadian division of my company had a particularly annoying British transplant manager who sprinkled that word in his conversation.
It always seems to be embedded in a long dry pedantic and condescending monologue.
