One of the funny (to my mind) things when we traveled to Australia was that it was quite common for people to use the word "whilst". At first I thought that it was people trying to be funny, or as my sister would say "adding funk". But it kept on popping up, both in writing and in speech. Yes, people actually used "whilst" in conversations or when making announcements. Now Laura is actually one of those people too. Funny.
