"lbs" or pounds drives me bonkers! The amount of brain activity that goes on here whilst I do mental acrobatics to convert it to kilograms...I should log it as an exercise and get credit for it.
Also, calories. Calories bloody calories. I think I am the only person here who uses kilojoules.0 -

I'm an Aussie and have never used kilojoules, it's always been calories.

Yup, I'm a calorie girl too, though I'm pretty good with lbs, inches and miles if I have to be. But metric makes way more sense.0 -

With the greatest of respect I think there are more pressing issues to worry about on this forum rather than the common usage of the word "whilst".
I hear what you say though.

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/while-and-whilst "While and whilst mean the same when we use them as conjunctions. They both mean ‘during the time that something else happens’, or ‘in contrast with something else’. While is much more common than whilst, and whilst sounds more formal"0

Yes, because there is no reason not to start a sentence with a conjunction. Admittedly I forgot my fullstops (periods to you Americans) but it's the internet and that happens a lot ... I had one too few dots in my ellipsis too0 -
