What kind of asshole can spell "sobriquet" but not "whining"? One that's
most
likely drunk.....

From Merriam-Webster:

"Main Entry: whinge
Pronunciation: 'hwinj, 'winj
Function: intransitive verb
Inflected Form(s): whinged; whing·ing or whinge·ing
Etymology: from (assumed) Middle English, from Old English hwinsian;
akin to Old High German winsOn to moan
British : to complain fretfully : WHINE"




Perhaps you could purchase a finer dictionary?
The two - dollar specials from Wal Mart *do*
seem a bit limited.

Poor dictionaries are no excuse. Dictionary.com is adequate, free and easy
to access.

On the other hand, I *do* have a life to live. Perhaps merely
disregarding Brybaby's whingeing emails would be for the best.


Probably so.
