For all those learning English (and for English speakers who don´t know) definitely is NOT spelt definAtely or any other way. It´s definitely definitely with an I.

 

Thank you!

Thanks! Smile

 

Separetely, I have problem with separately. Its spelling is hard to keep in mind, while it´s actually not supposed to do so. While on the subject, may I add its and it´s to the list? {#emotions_dlg.shy}

Yo

Thank you! 

 

{#emotions_dlg.yes} - and the other one that grates every time I see it - loose/lose.  You don´t loose your way, loose your mind or loose a game!!!  You can, however ´Lose a loose tooth´ ´break loose´ or find your clothes are too loose if you lose weight!

Here are some more

 

pronunciation (not pronounciation)

argument (not arguement)

grateful (not greatfull)

happiness (not happyness)

helpful (not helpfull)

welcome (not wellcome)

Some of those words I´m starting to have a problem too..!! {#emotions_dlg.shy} I must say that my English pronunciation was better when I just started learning English.. and it´s getting worse the longer I use it.. any explanations for this oxymoron?

You´re probably beginning to sound like a native English speaker! I sometimes watch those awful shows like Ricky Lake or Jeremy Kyle and wonder if they are actually speaking the same language.

I hope you don´t mean that I´m starting to sound like the people on these aweful shows. lol (even though I have no idea what they are, since I don´t watch tv..)
