          @scottalanmiller Correct usage in a sentence? When would you use amongst instead of among?

            They are interchangeable. It's from Middle English c1200

            He frolicked amongst the daises.

            Very common in England, lessso in American English in recent times. It's generally seen as more formal.

              'Amongst' is absolutely a word in both American and British English, amongst many others.

                Similar to alongst. But amongst is a lot more common.

                  Quite true. I was just curious as I tend to default to among since that is what I was brought up saying, lol.

                    I think that I was brought up on amongst. It sounds so natural to me. I couldn't believe that the dictionary on FF didn't have it.

                                    That's a pretty rare one. Several dictionaries don't even have it, oddly enough.

                                      Seriously? Oh well, I guess everything at Google must refrigerated regardless of requirements.

                                        Virtualization and hypervisor

                                        Of course I've added these to my local dictionary, but still...

                                          "Hypervisor" is one of those somewhat ridiculous tech words that I'm happy to be able to say in serious, real life situations.

                                          It sounds like something out of a 90's sci-fi movie.
