Why instead of while
I think people get confused because in some accents (I.E Facebook hun ) that is how it’s pronouncedIs 'defiantly' slowly replacing 'definitely'? They mean two different things, I keep seeing the first frequently being used instead of the latter and I don't understand why.
I think for some it's the phone autocorrecting to defiantly instead of definitely.Is 'defiantly' slowly replacing 'definitely'? They mean two different things, I keep seeing the first frequently being used instead of the latter and I don't understand why.
I know exactly why this is.Is 'defiantly' slowly replacing 'definitely'? They mean two different things, I keep seeing the first frequently being used instead of the latter and I don't understand why.
Parents who run entire Instagram accounts dedicated to documenting their child’s illness, e.g. cancer. I get the raising awareness aspect but it feels SO exploitative posting photo after photo of your severely ill child, in their hospital bed with tubes up their nose, their hair falling out etc. Let them have some dignity at least.
It's still incredibly annoying though. If people were to proof read, they'd change it to the correct spelling. Autocorrect shouldn't really be an excuse. I think they simply can't spell in some cases, otherwise they'd see the mistake before moving on to the next word.I know exactly why this is.
Autocorrect.
People make a garbled attempt at spelling definitely and autocorrect takes them to defiantly pretty much every time.
On the internet, in the days before autocorrect (before using the internet via your phone even) you’d see all sorts of horrendous attempts at spelling definitely. Usually “definately”. Autocorrect sees definately and changes it to defiantly.
Edit: sorry @emmer_moans you got there well before me
Oh believe me, I am a massive fucking pedant and falling literacy standards amongst adults in this country really annoys meIt's still incredibly annoying though.

We don’t need a reminder of it, we’re all living it.People’s smart meters with details of how much they’re spending per hour or how it goes up when they turn their heating up etc etc. It’s expensive. Yes. We know. We’re all living through it. Yes. It’s shocking. Unbelievable really. But it’s everyone. All of us. Putting it on FB or TikTok or wherever isn’t going to change it. It’s not just you. It’s everyone. No one needs to see it. Just like no one needs to see your Christmas tree.
Exactly. Not sure why so many people think they’re the only ones experiencing high cost of living/Christmas etc etc and unless they share it, the rest of us won’t know anything about itWe don’t need a reminder of it, we’re all living it.
Cannot wait for the elf on the shelf which is about to start very soon

Yes!!! I can’t stand bloody Bublè to start with but he’s taking the biscuit this year every time I open Instagram I’m bombarded with him.I know we've mentioned it many times but when you see the slow panning across a set of twinkly lights and decorations on a christmas tree being accompanied by that fucking "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...." song.
So unoriginal and literally NO ONE cares about your tree!
