    1. Clearly a typo
    2. A totally valid use of the word.
         /ˈdif(ə)riNG/
         adjective
         adjective: differing
    
         not the same as each other; dissimilar.
         "widely differing circumstances"
    
         dif·fer
         /ˈdifər/
         verb
         gerund or present participle: differing
    
         be unlike or dissimilar.
         "the second set of data differed from the first" ```
    
    So... "thafuq" kind of attitude is that to have about correcting someone?

      Eh. 🤷🏼‍♂️ The first sentence was meant in jest, and the rest was simply corrective. Sorry for the tone. Your tense is still wrong. (ie. -ing =/= -ent)
