Never knew "whining" was against the rules

Whining and whinging - two valid words with slightly different meanings here.

You could tell them about "yeah, nah"... but I think their heads might explode...

Well, you were a little obnoxious with some of your posts over on POTN. But hey, your still on this forum

That's a valid word in Uklandish, a quaint regional variant of English spoken on some small islands in the North Atlantic. Let us strive to be tolerant of the quirks of others, that they may in turn be tolerant of our own.

Glad you said that Mike. I live on a small island in the North Atlantic and have been known to speak Uklandish if there's enough beer in the room. Then some fool made me a moderator. When I am speaking Uklandish, I'll ban whiners at will....

With no warnings, mind you. I really don't think I was that annoying on POTN.

As an American I have had the luxury of being blissfully unaware of the distinction(s) between English, British, Scottish, etc. When I left the U.S. and had occasion to bump into those nice folks I found myself being corrected for misuses so I just coined the term "Ukland" as a convenient catch-all.
