Wikipedia says so, so it must be true. (But in this case I think it's accurate.) "whilst [is] often considered archaic in American English" ... "The usage of whilst is chiefly British" ... "In American English, whilst is considered to be pretentious or archaic". —David Eppstein (talk) 07:33, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
