Today's spelling lesson: DEFINITELY
 

I make spelling mistakes just like everyone else, but this is one word that gets fucked up by about 60% of gfyers every single time: DEFINITELY.

Easy way to remember it ... De FINITE ly.

FINITE.

Thanks,

-Phil

Your right. It is speled that way. I'v always speled it diferently.

thats why so many people have adopted "def" .. I mess that one up all the time :(

I always spelled it definitly... I'l try to think about it ;) we definitely learn something everyday

I think I spell that wrong. The one that bugs me here is looser for loser. :1orglaugh

Yep, another common one ;)

-P

lmao, I spell this wrong quite a bit.

I never spell that one wrong but I sure do spell other words wrong sometimes.

wat moran woodd spall thad inkorrectlie?

glad I can help :winkwink:

-p

haha, i am guilty of that one...problem is for you, I could care less...LOL

Not a problem for me, I'm just trying to help.

If you prefer to spell it wrong that's your deal not mine :winkwink:

sorry.. but it is DEFINITELY a hard word for a lot of us with english as a second or third language.. most of the time I can hear how a word should be spelled, but that one is particularly hard.. :-)

Tassy, I must say that I have noticed your correct spelling of definitely in other threads, and it always puts a smile on my face. Ok, ok, there's usually more to your threads than the spelling that makes me smile, but you get the idea. :) :) :thumbsup :thumbsup

I can understand that for sure, it is a hard one. That's why I tried to sound it out for you the way that I personally remember it ... "De-FINITE-ly".

:winkwink:

spelling doesn't bother me so much as grammar, the usage 'seen' and 'saw' really piss me off.

example
wrong way: 'I seen him the other day'
correct way: ' I saw him the other day'.

You know, it isn't that I don't want to spell it right, I am a DAMN good speller usually, but that is one word for some reason that is always tricky for me. To be honest I have agonized over it for years, even time I try and spell it...LOL...i just decided long ago to not even worry about it anymore. With outlook and word correcting my mistakes it makes it easier...LOL

you know what is funny...I am a visual learner...now that you did that, I seriously doubt I will ever spell it wrong again...

sometimes it is the simple things, you know?

Funny me too, years, and it's pretty much only that word. :1orglaugh

i will defenetly remember this

the funny thing is, when I use that word anywhere other than Word or Outlook, I sit and spell it like 4 times trying to figure out what looks right

definately
definitely
definetly

haha

Theirs always people who doesn't know there spelling and they're grammar!

Thanks for this thread.

I'll forget how to spell it in 1 week tops.

:)

i usually enter the word in google and copy paste the suggestion

Hukd un fonics phukd mi up :)

maybe its my eyes. the lower case "i" is just too small for me to see.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh I DEFINATELY notice that shit all the time! Not just on GFY, EVERYWHERE!

Thanks, I always wrote "definately" :)

Ok, one grammar thread every day would be good for this board. :thumbsup :winkwink:

#I have seen him the other day


#I saw him the other day

im guilty.. i usually type def. to avoid a fuckup :(

I'm 30 and I still misspell that fucking word daily

Thanks for the post

recieve-----receive

i mispell it often

even worse sometimes i have to google it to see the correct one cause i can't fucking remember it.

Tomorrow we should cover "alot". It is not a word.

If you can?t remember the rule, just remind yourself that just as you wouldn?t write ?alittle? you shouldn?t write ?alot.?

good one, even think I used to spell it 'definately', but i'm from the south

aside from definite, is separate. lots of "seperate".
