Looking at the picture again its actually easy to see why you were confused its been spelt wrong, you have whining (to whine) and then you have whingeing (to whinge) so you were right in the first place apologies for that.711 wrote:Great!

Maybe we should start a thread and go through some of the words that the English use and then the American version of it the best example I can give if fanny I believe you call your arse a fanny where here a fanny is the womans genatalia
