While it is true that no two words can mean
exactly the same (perfect synonymy is ruled out
by linguists of all hues), and 'use' and
'utilize' mean different things, I don't think
'whilst' differs from 'while' except in being
archaic.
[In that sense, that is connotationally
different.]
Be that as it may, I wonder what is the
difference between till and until. I prefer to
use 'until' but i can't put my finger on why. Is
it like Am vs Brit E?
Thanks and regards,
Sankara S Rajanala
