Thanks

whilst is British, so I don't ever use it. I don't know anyone around here who does, either. CJ

I understand. I suspect this has been the case for most Americans since the war (the war of independence).

So, I am interested in hearing the opinions of people who are able to differentiate between the two.

Cheers and beers
