The word is definitely, not defiantly.
That is all.

Tell my phone's autocorrect. I used to get irritated by simple grammatical errors until I started using a smartphone to communicate online. Then I figured out why a lot of these errors exist!

I defiantly removed the poster!
I definitely removed the poster.

Definitely usually turns into defiantly when you go to spell definitely with an a instead of an i.

Anniethinggose · 02/01/2018 20:32

When people say generally instead of genuinely....!!!

God I hate definitely - I always spell it wrong.

I usually swap for certainly instead as it doesn’t come out wrong and make me look illiterate Grin

Marmite27 · 02/01/2018 20:34

Ok, I don’t always spell it wrong as the above post proves.

Can I change that to I usually spell it wrong. Wink

Rein it in, not reign it in. Similarly, free rein, not free reign. Argh!

YABU. People can't help there mistakes. There doing there best.

I don't think I belong on MN. I don't go out bear faced. The only thing I can't bare are bits of my body.
There's nothing I wish I could of done or should of done.

I don't tow the line. I don't use a palate knife or a make-up palate. Can't think of any more pacifically but to all intensive purposes I'm in the wrong plaice.

EarlGreyT · 05/02/2018 22:02

This thread is rediculous. I think it’s discusting that your mocking people for there spelling mistakes.

EarlGreyT · 05/02/2018 22:04

(It pained me to type and post the above)

iklboo · 06/02/2018 07:16

I can't bare it anymore.
