I wanted to contribute to these forums by providing a free tutorial on how to spell the word "DEFINITELY":

defi-nite-ly

notice that there's no "A" in the "nite" portion of the word.

Just thought it could help those in dire need of clarification.


Enjoy, class dismissed.

And while you're at it...

definately agree with you man.

Hah, I remember posting about the spelling of definitely in one of those grammar whore threads. "Definitely" the most frequently mispelled word ever.

I don't know. The Misuse of homophones is a little bigger. But I guess that is not "technically" a incorrect spelling.

Hmmmm

I tend to avoid the use of "definitely" when I am typing outside of a word processor so that I will not spell it wrong on accident.

It's more like the "omg hi 2 u, whos ur fav dj, mines paul van dyke" people.

Using it in moderation is okay.

even after reading this post I will still misspell it, and I use the word all the time.

I usually go for the "definitly" spelling of it. I have always been horrible at spelling and it is probably one of the hardest things for me to remember besides names of people. But if I look at a map for directions once, I am good to go and won't get lost...evar.
