WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS......??? I notice a word whilst gets used. Why oh why instead of using "that" word just use the word "while".
Whilst sounds so vulgar, it's a turn off

I think the correct useage is person to person verses person to object.
I waited whilst luv4u to get her reply ready. I waited while my laundry finished. News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

I waited whilst luv4u to get her reply ready. I waited while my laundry finished. 1. It's 'versus' - not 'verses'. 2. 'I waited whilst luv4u got her reply ready' would be correct. 3. It would be equally correct to say 'I waited while luv4u got her reply ready'. . ALT+PLS+RTN: Pure as a pane of ice. It's a gift. |

Would that I could explain. Were I still a teacher I might even venture to try. | |
