According to America's Test Kitchen TV show today if you use cream of
tartar in your meringue (as in Wayne's recipe) you should have no
weeping.

Have also heard that adding a bit of cornflour/starch will prevent
weeping.

What is a weeping?

In less severe cases, you'll see small golden droplets randomly appearing on
the meringue. In worse cases, it will be more liquid and will usually
collect around the outer edge of the meringue.

I have seen it depends on the temperature of the eggs. Room temperature is
better than fridge temperature for whippings.

Ah! Ok! Like when you do Mayo or cream. We say that: "Impazzisce"
(Translation: become crazy).
Thank you

That is drops of sweet liquid developing on the meringue. There is
nothing wrong with it. It doesn't taste bad. It is just a bit of a
visual annoyance.

Annoyance? Little golden droplets of dew. I used to love it when Mom
made lemon meringue pies and they wept. I wept for happy.
