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?
Are you a language statistician or something? How could you possibly make that claim lol
Linguist.
But no I remember this as well. It was quoted a ton after and gained a lot of traction. If you look at google trends since you want a “language statistician,” you can see “Sandor Clegane” is still the 4th most associated topic when “whinging” was searched this past week even though that episode aired 5+ years ago.
It’s easy to be snarky on the Internet. Maybe next time you should just do a cursory Google search or ask for clarification with a little more humility/good intent instead of being needlessly rude and challenging.
Not so sure about the first part of your name
I just saw it getting used by non-british people after the show when I didn’t before. It’s an anecdote. I don’t have statistics and if you care enough to prove me wrong I’ll accept it’s confirmation bias
