It's hard, if not impossible to have any sympathy for Max when you think in the crap he put other people through. Karma has a way of biting back.

Whilst I really dislike Max, I have to remember that he was raised by David Platt.Quote:

We are all aware of just how much our country is expected to be hospitable, but at the moment storylines need to look at how working people are struggling, without handouts.

I guess I do sometimes use it in speechQuote:

Did I strike a nerve? I just have always thought that using the word whilst sounded pretentious, whether you are from the UK or the US. But I've seen it used in other countries as well.Quote:

Example: I watched TV while I waited for my taxi (cab), whilst my sister played games on her phone. Whilst may be considered old fashioned by some people. Just to complicate things further when can be used instead of while. The phone rang while/when I was up a ladder. Whereas can sometimes also be used instead of whilst.
My brain is hurting so I will stop here.
I say 'whilst' and so does my daughter . Pretentious ??? Really? I certainly would be offended if someone said I was pretentious or using a word was pretentious . It rather suggests Hyacinth Bouquet .
And what about saying unbeknownst instead of Unbeknown?. Is that pretentious?!
Pretentious? Moi?
Possibly.Quote:

Thanks for all the replies (I've had more replies to this question than any about Corrie).
I do not think I have ever seen or heard unbeknownst, I am sure I have never said it. So I think I will sit this one out.Quote:

Just seems weird to show it, coz people never really get ill in the street.
a baby for carla and peter would be a good storyline for themQuote:

She probably has a brain tumour, coz soaps always copy each other, and it's happening now on Eastenders.
But Summer is totally amazing...according to Billy.Quote:
