Wait for it and I thought this word was obsolete millions of years ago.Ocay my queastion is why do some people say whilst when they mean while. Like comest to me they are welcomest to me and amongst I thought we left 14th centuary words and put them in a obsolete bin.but some people believe it or not still say whilst.WHILST is a word that you say everyday.just joking.

Some people still say whilst or amongst, yeah. I don't know, I find it cool.
No one still says comest if that makes you feel better.
