I had to register (although I'm a long time lurker) to add my pet peeve which I'm surprised no one has brought up. Why do people misspell "definitely" as "defiantly"? I could understand more common typos, confusing i's and e's, silent letters, etc., but how does this process turn into a completely different word? (Boy, you really have to be careful when you're contributing to a grammar thread!)
