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?
Seems like a fair assessment, even if it’s unprovable. Not a bad heuristic to assume things get adopted from the biggest show to have ever aired.
You got a counter claim?
Yes.
Baader-Meinhoff phenomenon. They heard it on the show and started hearing it everywhere. It wasn’t mass adopted after the fact.
Not bad, both easily plausible. Next time you disagree, offer a civil counterclaim and it’s more likely to go down well.
How hard was that?
But then you wouldn’t get all worked up about it
“But then you wouldn’t get all worked up about it”

Take care mate, it’s only a post. Peace
This is probably closer to the truth, as I first heard it in Firefly in 2002 before I started hearing it everywhere.
