Whats wrong in using the words Whilst and Due to?

I remember reading in an English style guide (The Scott Foresman Handbook for Writers) that the words whilst and due to were quite redundant and not to be used. The author did not seem to like them as whilst was just another word for while and due to was a rough form of saying because.

However, I’ve found myself using the due to quite often. For instance, I’m writing a long sentence that can have two becauses. In that case I end up using due to in place of the second because. For example:

For a sincere and talented writer, all barriers to entry are finally removed because of the e-publishing phenomena, and that was only possible due to the Internet revolution pioneered by Tim Berners Lee in the early nineties.

What can I use in place of second because if I don’t want to use due to?

Also, I personally find it more elegant to say “Whilst” instead of “While”. But is that the perception of most modern readers or not?

Answer

“For a sincere and talented writer, all barriers to entry are finally removed because of the e-publishing phenomena, and that was only possible due to the Internet revolution pioneered by Tim Berners Lee in the early nineties” sounds OK to me (bear in mind that I am not a native speaker though).

Moreover, if, as you asked, wanted to know what can you use in place of second because if you don’t want to use due to, I would suggest thanks to ;

” For a sincere and talented writer, all barriers to entry are finally removed because of the e-publishing phenomena thanks to Internet revolution pioneered by Tim Berners Lee in the early nineties”
