No it isn't. What gave you that daft idea?
- CamperBob2 3y agoIt's a stupid word, one that we don't need. 'Whine' works just fine. Why was it necessary to add a 'g'? You can see 'whinge' gaining ground very recently at the expense of 'whine' here: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=whine%2Cwhinge&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3 https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=whine%2Cwhinge... This is an outrage, and must be stopped. :-P
