Definately (Difinitly, Definetly, Difinately, etc. ad nauseum)
All of these are gross misspellings based on your mispronunciations of a word you may not even comprehend. For the love o' Pete, get it right!

  • What you meant: I'm going to be there, 100% fo' sho'!
  • What you typed: I'm defiantly going to be there!
  • What others read: I'm going to be there and you can't stop me!

Ways to look like a fool, one more: Missepl definitely. Yes it was intentional. See how dumb it looks?
