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?
Whining and whinging are definitely not the same thing, but I’m struggling to articulate why. Just something British (and I guess Australian, judging by this thread) folks grow up with and intuitively understand.
I know what you mean as a Brit. In my head whining is more high pitch haha
But technically they have the same definition.
