"due to" (shit happens because of something, not due to something ... only airplanes are due to arrive).

"per" -- i think you meant to say "pursuant".

― Tad (llamasfur), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 07:00 (twenty-three years ago)

whilst is a great word

No it isn't! You can always use "while" for EXACTLY the same meaning. It just sounds a bit posher. Also: amongst.

― Sam (chirombo), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 08:19 (twenty-three years ago)

amongst is a great word!

i use "indeed" far too much in my writing, but never in verbal conversation a la bbc local radio, viz.:-

"morning jonathan, isn't it a lovely morning in oxford today?"

"indeed!"

Amongst and whilst are very good and very beautiful words.

We used to make fun of people who said "Actually" at school.

― toraneko (toraneko), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 13:31 (twenty-three years ago)

Whilst is nice to use when a vowel follows it.

I started doing it half-sarcastically and now I can't stop. I like most of the words on this thread too. Er... sorry.

― Rebecca (reb), Tuesday, 22 October 2002 17:14 (twenty-three years ago)

I used to say 'actually' in school. :(
My dad used to make fun of my friends and I by saying, "blah blah blah ACTUALLY blah blah blah ACTUALLY..." and laugh and laugh.
