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?

    This is probably closer to the truth, as I first heard it in Firefly in 2002 before I started hearing it everywhere.
