I always spelt it as 'definately' before I got a spell check on my firefox.

If you don't know it's wrong how can you know to check your spelling?

God I get confused with tomorrow and all sorts so I GET IT.

But this one gets me riled.

The other one I do a secret snidey snurk at is when people ask about " Independant" schools.

Obv think " lady, if you can't spell it, are you sure it is right for you and yours"

I KNOW, straight to hell.

The crazy thing is I've actually had people try and tell me I'm spelling it wrong. "It's 'definately.'"" Sigh.

I find that it helps to say it with a South African accent.

I always say it as de-finite-ly when I'm spelling it because if I say it like that, I will spell it correctly

Rediculous is the one that gets me.

Viscous rather than vicious

Discusting

People do tend to write "discusting" on here as a joke though Holly

I hate it when people spell dependent as dependant. Or vice versa. Dependent (dependent in something/relying on something) and dependent (as in a person like a child is a dependant).

Tbf...I couldn't care less really, as it's not important overall, but my mistake there got on my nerves as an example.

I TOTALLY agree with the thickos who write independant re schools. If their children are as dim a bulb as the parent who spells like that perhaps they need fhe benefit of smaller classes and more attention. Grin

Vicious is hard though I think.

Viscous is Calpol

That's rediculus (sic). I will now use the word definitely because it was one of those words I was not sure about and would not use in fear of making myself look a twat. I do know how to spell ridiculous though Grin
