Why...

[iankeith]

are people using the word "whinge"? Seriously...the word is just "whine" with a g added. Hell, my spellchecker doesn't even think it's real, for crying out loud! I honestly thought the word was just a misspelling until I noticed everybody and their goddamn gramma using it

Whinge is simply the British spelling of whine. And besides, 'g's are fun ^^

[iankeith]

Extraneous 'u's are so much more fun. :P

The 'u' isn't extraneous, Webster had no right to redact it :)

(I have snuck onto your journal from c_s, and I have the answer to this question! And no, it's not the same as 'whine

[iankeith]

Eh, they're very similar. It's a matter of semantics.

I just saw a huge onrush of "whinge" coming from people and figured it was a ton of people either obsessed with misspelling it, or just being dumb.
