Grammar/correct word usage

[birdistheword]

Two people on my Facebook news feed tonight have written the word "defiantly" when they meant "definitely." One is a teacher. Sigh.

I obviously will not correct them, but it is killing me. I had to post about it somewhere.

I'd usually give you one of these

But definitely is one of my only grammar pet peeves. Well actually, using "then" and "than" interchangeably REALLY sets me off, but "definitely" is a close second.

Lord knows I'm not grammar queen, though.

I know it's asshole-ish! That's why I'd never actually say anything to anyone about it.

Could be an autocorrect.

Grammer is definately a pet peeve. I even spell write when posting on fb, even than. Your better then me four knot commenting.

I don't have dumb friends.

Bon, I was going to bitch-slap you for "Grammer" (only proper when relating to Kelsey or Camille, tyvm) until I read the rest of your post. Thank you for the laugh.

Its spelt "peave" if your going that rout tho.

I want to bitch-slap the teachers I know that keep typing "prolly" instead of "probably." I can think of three of them off the top of my head that do that. How difficult is it to type two more letters?

Spelling definitely correctly is my litmus test for how dumb I judge someone to be.

I include "separate" on mine.
