how do you spell definitely
You had a keyboard in your hands and still asked someone.
It's spelled definitely: D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y.
One trick makes it stick. It comes from the word finite, so it's de + finite + ly. No "a" anywhere.
Common misspellings to avoid:
- definately (the most common one)
- definitly
- defiantly (a real word, but it means "rebelliously", so it's a different word)
That took less effort than typing the question.
