I have no idea, because to *me* whining is NOT spelled with another *g*. Yeah. I think it's a British thing, maybe. But every time I see it I just think someone is mispelling it!
I think he's doing a much better job. He's so much more relaxed than he used to be in front of the camera. Although I also think he's going almost *too* far over to the other side and making the character have too much of the real DB. If that makes any sense at all. No, perfect sense, because I agree completely. Sometimes I just wish someone would slap him around and tell him not to be himself, please.
He's okay. Don't think I'd evey buy a CD though. He has cds?
I'm rewatching from s3, since [info]tabaqui has my s1 and s2 of Ats. I love it. All over again. Can't get enough although it makes every show I watch now seem lame and poorly written. *sigh* I'm rewatching S3 too! It's funny, because I have trouble with this season--I hate what they do with Cordy's character, and there are some dork!Angel moments that *really* rub me the wrong way. But rewatching it, I can't believe how much I love it, and how much of that love I'd forgotten. I love the themes Holtz and Justine bring into the mix.
Come work in my bakery, baby. :) That would be so cool!
Any ep in s4 of Angel. I hated the whole pg!cordelia arc and it took me a while to warm up to teen!connor. But now, since I can see the big picture, I love it. Oh, yeah, I love it. One thing about S4 is I love it as a whole more than I love each episode. I was completely spoiled for it though, so I knew first time I watched it what would happen, and that made me love the pieces as they came first time through.
Dude! Your brain! It just never stops! Yes, well, it likes to spend time in places it shouldn't.
It's a British thing (Canadian ex-pat, here). The verb is "to whinge" (rhymes with hinge) and as far as I can tell it means about the same as whining in the sense of "bitching about something rather than getting on and doing something about it", but without necessarily having the auditory connotations of a high-pitched, nasal sound (like a dog whining, or a kid.) One can whinge in a basso profundo voice.
Huh! Thanks so much for clearing that up! I was wondering if the pronunciation was different. I didn't know it had a slightly different meaning. So, would a Brit say both whinge and whine, to mean two different things?
For that you'd probably have to ask one *g* (what about darkhavens? she could probably tell you if I'm totally off base.) From the ways I've heard it used, I would say that yes, they probably would, with the whinging/whingeing being the complaining and the whining being the noise the neighbour's puppy was making all damn night.
I personally don't use the word whinge because it's not natural to me (and because I try hard to neither whinge nor comment on other people's doing so! :)
