Whenever I see this, I think "whin-juh" ("i" as in "Tim") - the word
is "whine," spell it right. If you mean "cringe" then spell that.
If you mean both, then spell out both, the two words mean totally
different things and do not lend themselves to contraction. Do not
succumb to the "whinge" faux-neologism, it represents nothing more
than functional illiteracy exemplified.
My other pet peeve is "shite" ("i" as in "kite") for "shit" or "shitty."
The Internet may not produce the works of Shakespeare, but it certainly
is illustrating the million monkeys.
