So are you going to tell which spelling is correct? 

[Jar11591]

In your context;

 

definitely- I am without a doubt going to buy one of those.

 

defiantly- I am going to buy one of those even though someone doesn't want me to. LOL

I just returned from Beanown, hilarious I literally lol'd Even managed to pass tea through my nose. Oh btw don't ask for regular coffee at a restaurant, regular is cream and sugar not black.

The most common mistake in spelling I see is: your when you're should be used.

Example: Your the best at bass fishing.

Correction: You're the best at bass fishing.

Or: You are the best at bass fishing.

Your should be used as: Your bass is larger than mine.

I'll admit, I've edited a couple post just so I could read them without getting a headache 

[Fishing Rhino]

Our resident spell checker, Long Mike, has been shirking his duties.

 

There was never a spelling error that he did not like to correct.  All in good humor of course.  The use of their in place of they're, or vice versa (the same for you're and your), and the too, to and two, were the most common targets for his edifications. 

 

We come from a much earlier generation where spelling was important in communications.  Not so much today. 

 

Methinks he has tossed his hands up in frustration with spelling errors and surrendered.

My iPad turns definitely into defiantly all the time.

Same.... It happens all the time.

You'd think since it's a bass fishing forum people wouldn't confuse bass with bass, so often I read where somone caught a bass.  You can't catch a bass, you play a bass.  A bass is a musical instrument.  A bass is a fish.

I sent a text to my wife last night. wife being the operative word. I'd finished grilling our dinner, and she was held up at work My text was supposed to say "taking a quick shower. I smell like grill".

The iPhone auto-correct version of this was "taking a quick shower. I smell like girl".

Not exactly a message designed to endear oneslf to one's significant other.

Some of us are naturally good spellers and some can spell kat. I have to admit I laugh sometimes when I see the way words are misspelled. It's OK, it's the message that's important. I was a printer for many years and being able to spell was a job requirement. I had to take a spelling test to be hired at my last place of employment. That was before computers and spell checkers. Again, I say if you are not a good speller please don't let that keep you from participating in this forum. Heck, you don't need to know how to spell to catch a bass
