    Is 'definitely' the most misspelled word on any forum?

    Definatley, err, defiantly, damn, definitely!

    I'm always correcting my own bloody spelling of it!

    But even with smellchek one still needs to know the correct smelling to be able to recognize the word from the selection given.

    Dog chasing tale sort of thing.

    Oh yeah,
    We can still understand misspelt words. (Incidentally, the correct spelling of “misspelt” is “misspelt”, and while, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, “misspelt” and “misspelled” are both acceptable, “misspelt” is more usual in British English and “misspelled” in American English.May 5, 2006

    Or others use the grave ` instead of an acute/apostrophe ' in punctuation? There is at least one person on here that does that.
    I wonder if some may do it just cos I've always wondered. I've always wondered.

    What Rob, 'cos they can?





    Btw,
    Just trying to recall the "olde days".

    There were 2 trays/treys to a Zac, & 2 Zacs to a Deener & 2.5 (?) Deeners to a 2 bob piece, (a Florin 2/6d or half a Crown, a Crown being 5 bob), & I very vaguely recall seeing once, a 5/- piece( a Crown), but not in my pocket.
    A ten bob note (the orange one) & a quid note (the green one) There was a Blue one but that was out of my reach, 5 quid I think.

    Then Decimal **** came in & took the fun out of it all.
