They are interchangeable. It's from Middle English c1200

'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.

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.

habanero on FF
-
@scottalanmiller It doesn't try to pick up the n with the ~ on it (How do you even type that on an English Windows machine?)... habañero ? (the ñ is alt, 164).
-
I looked for that, it didn't.
