Definitely!
Why do people not know how to spell definitely? Of course the only time I really witness this problem is when I'm talking online to friends, but it has yet to make any sense to me. I understand why people might write "omg" or "lol" or "cuz" (even though it looks stupid), but why spell definitely wrong? It's not just wrong, it's horribly wrong. I've seen it spelled "definatly," "definatlly," "definately." I don't think anyone spells definite "definate," so why spell the adverb form of the word wrong? It doesn't shorten the word at all, and in some cases, even lengthens it. I wouldn't mind if it was just a typo, because especially in casual writing, it happens all the time, but that cannot just be a typo. So now that everyone thinks I'm a spaz about spelling, I'll end my entry!
