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?

    I’m not talking about orthographic reform. I’m talking about in terms of vocabulary and grammar—how it is under the hood (or bonnet, if you’re across the pond).
