1. Imagine Fox, aka Goebellsvision if Kerry, Obama, Biden or Harris had used the word "Whilst?"

[leftstreet]

2. Some young intern trying to look educated

...whilst proving Trump doesn't scribe his own tweets

[William Seger]

18. Yeah, and the Random Capitalization is a bit overdone

[dalton99a]

28. +1. Archive of his previous posts shows 819 for "while" and 0 for "whilst"

[Solly Mack]

3. He probably picked it up from his mother. Same as his often-used phrase, "high-quality people".

[Tanuki]

16. I've heard him pronounce "airplane" as "aeroplane,"

and always assumed it was something he picked up unconsciously from his Scottish mum.

[Solly Mack]

17. He appears to have sought approval from his father, but his mother seems to have had

a lot of influence on him.

4. AI co-author.

5. covfefe - that's it.

6. "nothing even close to this...was even thought of for the People's House"

For GOOD F-ing reason you psychopath.

You turned "The People's House" into a ruin and a forum for savage, brutal, and often bloody violence no child in America should be exposed to. And you offer the world this, as a "celebration" of America?

I have no words.

[Jack Valentino]

7. Are you saying he picked up a new word (for him)??

I myself may have used it in the past, although extremely rarely---
but I would congratulate Donald upon expanding his vocabulary in this instance!!!

(Mostly his stock of words is degrading in the other direction....)

[Retrograde]

8. I sometimes do, but I'm pretentious at times (n/t)

[mwmisses4289]

9. Several of my friends and i do occassionally.

Of course, most of us are well read, theatre, science, music and art nerds, so not sure that means anything about our using it.

[Celerity]

10. British & British Commonwealth-raised and/or educated people? Certainly not that plonker Trump.

[obamanut2012]

11. I do, but I doubt he does

[niyad]

12. I want a list of all those other fights. Oh, wait a minute. Teddy

Roosevelt boxed, and loved to challenge people. A fact that had to be presented to the intellectually incurious/illiterate orange tub of diseased flab and make-up. But, hey, since you brought it up, oh mighty one, perfect physical specimen that you are, let us see YOU in the ring, with a professional boxer of my choosing.

[CTyankee]

13. Of course not. It's a British term, IIRC. I'm not British.

[niyad]

15. But there are many words in common usage in American english that

are foreign, and yet commonly used. Pizza comes immediately to mind.

[CTyankee]

23. Pizza is pizza and Italian. Whilest is a British variation of a term in English.

That's the way I see it. No biggie.

[obamanut2012]

26. I'm American and I use it

But, no way Trump does.

[CTyankee]

29. It's actually a nice word. I like it!

Hubby would roll his eyes if I started using it tho...

[niyad]

14. It depends on what I am writing, or with whom I am speaking.

[William Seger]

19. Glorification of violence

... is NOT "one of the Most Entertaining Nights in American History" to evolved humans.

[SocialDemocrat61]

20. The Captain

[Swede]

21. I'll try. Trump shat himself whilst posting this nonsense.

[niyad]

22. !!!

[COL Mustard]

24. Well played, Swede!

You win the thread!

[Seeking Serenity]

25. I do. I apologise for nothing.

[underpants]

27. Oh NOW it's "the People's House"
