i love whilst because it's like a slightly deranged whistle, but i do not think i have ever used it in real life and probably never shall

I try to avoid 'whilst' these days even though I'm Britisher

Voted whilst as a commitment to using the word more. We create the world we want to see and I say goodbye to the boring “while”

Voting “whilst” if only for “Do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recordings.”
