Whinging about Ragnaros

[MiRai]

I hate to be that guy, but every time I see the thread title I cringe. It's "whine," sorry if English isn't your first language.

Well then, I learned something. I didn't know there was an English spelling of that word, but boy does it bother me unlike colour, flavour, centre, etc. Is it still pronounced like "wine"?

You're not alone... it bothers me as well because I'm not used to seeing it.

But the pronunciation is right there on the page I linked:

hwinj, winj

In the +- 20y that I'm online as a non native English speaker, the spelling/grammar quality of native English speakers has gone downhill (like there is no fucking tomorrow). Same is true for my own language though, and 90% comes from the younger generation (partly education, partly internet/sms/leetspeak I guess). Not that I'm capable to write quality English, but none expects so from a foreigner I guess.

One of the examples that stands out lately is 'I'm a decant player', or 'he is better then him'.

That English is not your first language and you catch those is pretty impressive. I have friends that have no idea which is correct.

And now all I feel like is a glass of wine for some reason...

Who are those friends? Brothas from da hood?
