Words you don’t hear much these days

@AdagioM said in Words you don’t hear much these days:
Amongst. Unless you’re George R. R. Martin.
Or wtg.

I actually say both among and amongst. And while and whilst.
I also pronounce either and neither as eye-ther and nye-there instead of ee-ther and nee-ther. Mom had an English boss when she worked in the DP camp in Germany after WWII. I think she picked up some of her pronunciation from being around him. And I from her.

I see (and hear) kerfuffle often in the media.
