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?

    It sounds like “Whinge/ing” is equivalent to a tantrum or “hissy fit”.

      It’s a step or two before the hissy fit, probably a step up from whining 👍
