I have noticed lately that a lot of users on Lemmy spell whining as "whinging" what's up with that? I could understand if it was misspelled "wining" or somthing but that extra g really confuses me. Is this a misspelling specific for some region or is it lingo of some sort?

      I’m American but I like a lot of British TV so I was already familiar with it but I definitely noticed the uptick. It’s not the most famous scene but people like it enough to have it clipped on YouTube

        Same here with British TV. I hadn’t noticed any uptick, but I’d be happy if the term was adopted.
