You misspelled "whining" which made me smile at the irony. :flowerforyou: :happy:0

What is whinging? She also used the semi colon incorrectly.0

Ah, a language barrier.
"To whinge" is the English (British) equivalent of the English (American) "to whine."
Semicolon is one word. Yes, looks like it was used incorrectly unless there are British punctuation rules I don't know.0 -
Ahhh like *kitten*? Interesting...still don't like that semi colon0
-
Seriously :noway: ? She did not spell whinging wrong.
whinge
intr.v. whinged, whing·ing, whing·es Chiefly British
To complain or protest, especially in an annoying or persistent manner.0 -

We use whinging here in the UK, so it's correct for me and many others here ha ha0 -
Whinging is a term used to describe the act of complaining. It is indeed similar to 'whining'
I apologise for the semicolon. My phone was actually responsible for that.0 -
Whinging is the British version of whining, and is correct.0

We use both terms, here in New Zealand!0 -
We use whinging and whining in Australia. We are an easy going bunch.0

Regarding the OP, yes, you are correct... no one will ever "loose" weight. I figure it's a battle not worth fighting though, like "your" and "you're."0

As do we Australians.0 -
*waves at fellow Kiwi*

I find this topic highly amusing, I does make me chuckle when people spell it loose... and then it gets even better when you have been picked up for whinging and not whining ;0)
Personally I have loose clothes due to my good weight loss0 -

I mostly find it confusing. Is it just a really common spelling error or do some people actually say "I want to loose weight"?0 -
I think it's a general failure of the (apparently worldwide) educational system...
Seriously, it's just spelling and general knowledge. I guess they don't know it's not the same word. People definitely say they want to LUZE weight, not LUCE weight, if that's the right phonetic spelling of the sounds.0 -
Another one that confuses me is "I weighted myself" as opposed to 'weighed'
Is this a language based thing?0 -
No, this is an IQ thing.0
-
LOL! I haven't seen that one much. It may be a smart phone auto correct thing?
I weighted myself to go SCUBA diving years ago... as in I put lead weight in a belt.0
