I've lived and worked in the UK and went to SCHOOL at one of their "universities" and I find myself slowly being driven insane by UK English. The worst is when an American starts doing a Madonna. Had a colleague from OHIO state that a client had "thrown a wobbly."
"Whilst!"
"Maths!"
I take great pride fighting a determined rearguard action against "whilst." What are you, a 19th-century Cockney bootblack?
"Please guvna, hold me brush WHILST I gets in me chimbney, I does."
