I've seen this word written the wrong way more times than I've seen it written correctly so I thought I'd get on my smartass-suit and tell everyone the right way.
DEFINITELY - DEFINITE
To make it easy to remember; think of it as 'infinite', but replace the first 'in' with 'de'. Genious?!
Now, repeat after me!
Definitely.
Definite.
And of course, let the flaming commence.

Re: Grammar enlightenment
It's a wonder no one has ever complained about this before.
This gets mentioned every couple of weeks on TA and the trend still persists.

Let's get another one out of the way, shall we?
Your v.s. You're.
Your: The possessive form of you.
You're: Contraction of you are.

That semicolon is incorrect there. A colon would work better.

Genious?!
To help you remember that this word is spelled "genius," recognize that virtually all words ending in "ous" are adjectives. Think about it. How many nouns can you think of that end in "ous" or "ious"?
Also, the correction you've pointed out is a spelling mistake, not a grammar mistake.
Boy, way to go.
