I see people add an 'st' to some words and, for the life of me, have no idea why. While becomes whilst. Among becomes amongst. Amid becomes amidst and so on.
I can't explain the reason for it beyond some sort of presumption of assumed classiness.
But I find it all very pretentious and really unnecessary.
True class shows through the person without them having to take on airs of it.
That is all.
