Everyone Learn This Right Now
The word is definitely.
Do you spell it "definately," or some other such perversion? Congratulations, you need to repeat junior high.
I realize that (obviously) I mostly come across this typo online, where any mouth-breather with a keyboard can just type away, but come on. Let's all get together on this one.

I'm with you.
Yes.
I think you and I could have a real future together. A beautiful, perfectly-spelled future.
I realize this isn't a spelling matter (my spelling truly sucks), but can we add irregardless to words that people need to learn? As in, it's not a word and they should stop using it.
Thank you.

jkate: I live in Sherman Oaks and enjoy movies and concerts.
Girl With Curious Hair: We should, and we will.
Josh: Fyve points for iriny.
Misspellings make me loose my mind.
I think I love you.
It's helpful to remember that the word "finite" is in definitely...no one would ever spell it "finate." Well. Would they? Anyway, as a poor speller myself, but someone who adores copyediting, this is a tiny trick to help the rest of the world.
Dan, have you seen the bit on homestarrunner that is Strong Bad's rules to grammar?
"Y-O-U-R ... Y-O-U-apostrophe-R-E. They're as different as night and day. Don't you think that night and day are different? What's wrong with you?"
As long as we're doing crabby grammar day, how about learning when to use fewer versus less and among and between?
Hey "Dan"
I don't know where Sherman Oaks is because I was born in Gimli, Manitoba, and now I live in Montreal where I parles the francais.
I would like to outlaw the use of the term "Value-added.
That is all.
