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?

    Sandor Clegane is #4 most related topic when searching “Whinge” on google trends even though that episode aired several years ago. It’s a reasonable assumption. Go look for yourself.

    Can we not do that Reddit thing where people just accuse people of bad faith or attribute literally everything they don’t agree with to a fallacy or some such? If you or the other person had literally taken 30 seconds to look at Google trends, you might have even come to the same conclusion yourselves.
