while or whilst??
 

what is the difference? I rarely see the word used, but hear it on ITV during formula one brodcasts and saw it on the board today. Sure enuff, the poster was from the UK!!

Somone on here show me the differences please!

if it is a funny example, thats even better! :D

Next time, whilst enjoying F1, ponder the colour of thee tyres.

not to mention what a "bird's arse" is ... ;)

Surely all you blokes are takin the ****. It's all ******** anyway

Whilst piss and bollocks are in the English language 'tis been a wile (sic) since I has't seen its use without the raising of an eyebrow.

While piss and bollocks are accepted by the board program **** and **** are not. Why the **** is that?;)

I've lived in the UK for a while, and I assure you that both terms are still well in use.

I know that it is so but I couldst not resist the posting.

Truly I believe that today the proper usage of whilst be to add sonority and elegance to an otherwise bland and insipid phrase.

Of course sir, as thou didst suggest in the previous posting, 'tis a load of ballox. For the most important part be that we clearly understand the intent in the communication. ;)

Cheers, mate.
