I will do my "level best" not to use the word whilst any longer!

" A very" good morning, afternoon and evening should also be removed:ugh:

When I receive an email containing the phrase 'please revert with your position', I copy paste my previous mail and send it off. Confuses the hell out of them, gives me something to laugh at.

'We shall do the needful' is code, and means the exact opposite of what's written.

I only revert back to intimate you to be guided accordingly and do the needful due to regretfully our SVP of Inglish expired at the weekend but.

I find this meatloaf rather shallow and pedantic.

Just reading the ASR's (bored).

"Of grate" Was used in a report about engine cowl securing in BUD on a 330.

Of grate? Seriously?

Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye, the most esteemed commander of the iron bird known as the Aey three thirty is of grate to the peasants that workith on said vessel! :}

I may need to find and read the ASR to figure out what you're talking about Halas. Or I could smoke whatever you're on maybe??

And adverts for cars invariably include the phrase "white colour", or similar.

As if it would be "white flavour"!

whilst |(h)wīlst|
conjunction& rel.adverbchiefly Brit.
while.
ORIGIN late Middle English: from whiles + -t as in against.


Still in the dictionary so what is the problem?

Do you have fits when you hear the word "tyre"?

puff m'call 2nd Dec 2014 08:09

Must start to use "Whilst" in my P.A's.

Adverseyawn 2nd Dec 2014 14:26

The problem is that the EK Language Police themselves advises against using said word even though it's used ad nauseam in company documentation.

That's why!
