I know this thread is OOOOOOOOOOLD but I am shocked that there’s no outraged British person announcing how we ignorant Americans don’t realize that the rest of the world exists.

And so I’m going to jump in. “Whilst” is a British word–maybe you already knew that. You hear it in the UK. And I think Australia. Possibly other places. I don’t know. I don’t really have a problem with Brad Pitt, but I do have to say that an American using “whilst” the height of tacky and pretentious.

Hope Brangelina do not attempt turning the ayn rand tomes into 2-hr hollywood sexpit. Mr/s Smith was bad enough. And while I’m griping, I’m tired of hollywood actors referring to themselves as artists…

HOW OLD ARE YOU DP. TOO OLD FOR THIS SITE I BET.

As for Brad, he can design away to his little heart’s content. As Mamba said, Dubai has tons of real architects who know what they’re doing.

Although it would be hilllllaaaarious if something went wrong.

he’ll do it
because he’s famous
and Dubai has the best German architects
and the best Dutch civil engineers
so he just has to put his name among others

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the on-screen instructions would use “whilst.”

“Whilst shooting, use R1 to auto-target on an individual…” or “You can shoot enemies whilst driving by pressing L1…” Cracked us up everytime.
