Quite possibly my first ever post in this room.
I can forgive spelling mistakes but "definitely" and "defiantly" are 2 different words with 2 totally different meanings. This error has become a mini pet hate of mine lately so I decided to put "defiantly" in the search box and look at the results.
There were well over 100 results so had a look at the first 30 minus a couple of threads with far too many pages to bother with. Seventeen different members' making the same mistake!!, is it an epidemic???. Each time I read a post with this error (which in my opinion should now be punishable by death) I can't help but visualise the scenarios. For example;
Defiant Member walks into Game to buy an Xbox One because he is "defiantly" going to buy one.
Shop assistant "Can I help you Sir?"
Defiant Member "NO"
Shop assistant "Are you looking to buy something today?"
Defiant Member "Maybe I am and maybe I'm not but I am"defiantly" not leaving till I have one.
Shop assistant "If you don't want to tell me what you want could you point to it instead?"
Defiant Member "I could but I won't and you can't make me.
Rant over, jeez that feels really good. Will defiantly post in this room again evil:
