From 806654a9667c6f60a65f1a4a4406082b5de51233 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2018 11:02:45 +0000 Subject: Documentation: Use "while" instead of "whilst" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Whilst making an unrelated change to some Documentation, Linus sayeth: | Afaik, even in Britain, "whilst" is unusual and considered more | formal, and "while" is the common word. | | [...] | | Can we just admit that we work with computers, and we don't need to | use þe eald Englisc spelling of words that most of the world never | uses? dictionary.com refers to the word as "Chiefly British", which is probably an undesirable attribute for technical documentation. Replace all occurrences under Documentation/ with "while".
