There is no word in the English language that irritates me quite as much as "whilst."
I do not mean that the meaning bothers me, or the sound the word makes when pronounced. I simply react, instinctively, with both revulsion and condescension whenever someone trots it out.
I do not like it, and I have no explanation for my preference.
