Does this word sound archaic to you. It does to me. But, I think Jim uses it a lot.

It's British, not archaic.

I've heard a lot of times that it's an archaic word.

Nope. Still in mainstream use by me at least and no one's looked at me funny for saying it in the past decade or two.

Yes, I use it a lot but not to seem archaic. It's not an archaic word to me nor is "amongst".

I don't use ''whilst'' any more than ''dost'' or ''wast''.

I use both "whilst" and "amongst" occasionally.

I use ''whilst'' much more than ''dost'' or ''wast''.
