Dear English Speaking World,
Please kindly refrain from using the word "whilst". It shits me.
"While" is perfectly adequate in every situation. It is never necessary to use whilst under any circumstances. Ever.
Whilst is for people who like to sound officious. Whilst is for people who want to sound cleverer than they are.
Won't somebody think of the children etc??!!
I won't have it. NO MORE!!
And while you're at it, get rid of "bumpkin" too.
Sincerely, Tom.
