This is going to be short but sweet. And by sweet I mean sour. Do you know how to spell definitely? Do you REALLY know how? Are you sure you know how?
Guess what? Did you know that "defiantly" is not the same word as "definitely?" Never has been, never will be. So please, for the love of whatever it is you believe in, stop writing "defiantly" when you mean "definitely!"
They're not the same word, and their definitions aren't remotely the same. At first, I thought it was a common typo that occurred once-in-while. Then I realized that few people really know how to spell "definitely."
I genuinely hope this makes it easier on those of you who are "definitely-challenged."
Think about this for a second: "Definitely" comes from the word "definite." So remember, when you want to write this word out, think of its root word and you'll be mistake-free!
