'Whilst' isn't that commonly used in this country either, it's probably used slightly more by people who would be perceived as a little more academic or by those who take an interest in using language in the best way possible for effective communication. Hmm.
Whilst it's a great word, it is not used very often unfortunately. I'm going to use it tons from now on just to see if I can make it once again a fasionable word to use ;)

 Does anyone here ever wonder what the other aunt's might sound like? I mean the different accents and words. I pick up on small things like "whilst". That's a word you'd never hear in Canada/USA. It's a crazy thought but there are many different people who contribute, we all speak english, but come from all over the globe. If you go back far enough, it all started with the mothership, England.
One thing is obvious though and the more a person travels or listens to others it becomes clear. We are 99% the same and 1% different. People's problems, hopes and expectations in life are mostly the same. It's too bad we fight over the small stuff.

My wife has to work from 9pm-5am New Years' Eve. I've been invited to my sister's house for a party but I'm already planning my escape. The bar on the corner is having a party with live music and some people from the neighbourhood. I'd rather be there.

 Merry Christmas to everyone! Thanks for this site, Andrew! I have been away working so apologies when I only check in every month or so. In 2 weeks I'm off working in Berlin. Groan. I might be needing you all again soon. The bf is in Australia and his daily messages have now become every second or third day. Now 4 days without a call. Sigh. So depressed. Happy New Year.

A
reader, anonymous, writes (24 December 2006): So it's Xmas Eve, and I don't usually 'celebrate' it. It's really an excuse for friends/family to gather and such. However, as I will most likely be sleeping for the rest of the day and then do some work for a client... Yes, don't scold me.
Anyway, I would like to wish everyone both auntie, uncle, and Grand Uncle Andrew, including the ones I have crossed swords with, been thrown heels and spikey things at, and those who have no doubtly further a stir in my boxer briefs a very merry xmas and safe holidays. May the next new year bring you better successes, and further wisdom to help you continue with life at a nice and steady pace.
As a new year's resolution for DearCupid, I will promise to never debate in another porn topic, and answer 95% of the emails that get sent to me through DC, as well as possibly keeping my super rare bad temper in check. Lest I face the wrath of the Anons stalking and attacking me again... [wink]
A toast and a cheer to Andrew and his super useful site, and again, to all the uncles and aunties that have given me quite a few different perspectives. If it weren't for this site, I might still have been moping around with super long hair, an unshaven face, and port bottles everywhere, seeking mental vengeance on my dearly departed beloved (whispers to myself: "wench")...

 my xmas was going just fine and dandy until the cat jumped at the xmas tree and pulled it over which in turn pulled a decoration down which fell into the candles i had burning which caught fire. I leapt up yelling, tripped over the cat who had run away from the falling tree, fell over the table and sprained my wrist. My neightbour heard me screaming, thought i was being murdered and called the police who came round while i was in the middle of putting the fire out. They wanted to call the fire brigade and an ambulance, 'just in case' so within five minutes, i had all the emergency services on my doorstep and all my neighbours looking out their windows. The firemen triapsed through my house, ruined my carpet with their muddy boots and gave me a lecture about lit candles and how i shouldnt be drinking wine with lit candles in the house and how i definitely shouldnt have tried to put the fire out with the wine(I panicked okay) Oh, and did i mention that all through this i was practicly naked having recently stepped out of the shower. And the firemen weren't even goodlooking. anyway, here i am typing this one handed. i started it three hours ago. Merry xmas and a happy new year and hope you have a luckier one than me.xx

A
reader, anonymous, writes (20 December 2006): And oh yes--I totally agree with Sina. To the question about 'why' questions are not approved I will say the questions that usually don't make it on the site are questions that fall into the below categories
1) Poor spelling and grammer. It's hard for readers to decipher and answer questions effectively if there are a ton of spelling errors. Another reason is: (Kiddiespeak eg: becuz=because,lyk=like, m8=mate, and so on). You know, that silly, nonsensical way many people type on the keyboard. This personally drives me 'batty' trying to decipher 'text' like this. Some moderators let these ones slip by..but most don't. All I can say to question askers, if you want your question published, please use good spelling and double check your question before submitting.
2) CAPS ON: A lot of moderators will not approve questions with caps on. It gives the impression of yelling and many readers view that as offensive.
3) Repeat Questions: Sometimes a question asker will ask a question and keeps on asking over and over again. This too can be annoying for readers to keep viewing the same type of question over and over again. Eg. Do I keep my virginity? Does he love me? How can I get him to like me?
4) Questions that make no sense or the wording is confusing, or questions that are insulting, or questions where bad language is used and are offensive.
5) Questions that have personal e-mail adresses, personal information such as names, home adresses and phone numbers.
Some questionable questions do get by the odd moderator and do make it on the site. But quite often most of them are caught.

May all your most wonderful dreams come true. My favorite quote about this time of year is: "Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be merciful, to be giving, is to have the real spirit of Christmas." Peace, everyone and god bless Irish xxoo
