  • One very minor quibble with the caption: "whilst" is British English. We should be using American English for her. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:23, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

Is it? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7% of all FPs} 23:15, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

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)
