We Get Mail, Definitely

Sometimes it comes from stupid people, in reference to this old post about people that can't spell "definitely."

Dumbwits! Definitely is the AMERICAN spelling!

The rest of the world who follow the ENGLISH (you know from England) quite rightly spell it definately.

Just because it's not your way doesn't mean it's the wrong way.

No, of course not, chum; but when your way is the wrong way, that does mean it's the wrong way.

And, thus, you are wrong.

Definitely so.

P.S. The Oxford English Dictionary Online from the Oxford University Press, part of Oxford University, located in England (where they speak English), says you're wrong too.

P.P.S. "Definately" is also not found in Cambridge University Press' Online Advanced Learner's Dictionary. Perhaps they have it in their Online Self-Righteously Incorrect Person's Dictionary. Worth a shot!

P.P.P.S. Cambridge University is in England too. Where they speak English. I suggest you visit and pay attention. Take notes even.
