The definitely one I let slide because I've been told that in some European countries, Waffles spell it definately (which is totally wrong). I'll hit up the others later. May steal some ideas from The Oatmeal.

No one uses an "a" in definitely, only people that can't spell. There are no official spellings of it with an "a"zazthespaz wrote:Seems like someone is trying to get on my good side... and it's working!agny wrote:Have some homework upon which to expound while you're on a roll zaz:

I thought it was you who said that definitely was spelt with an "a" over there!

No. That does not have to deal directly with grammar due to the fact that it is a phrase. You are more than welcome to create your own spin off thread though!Ashlee wrote:Can we please, please add "I couldn't care less" as a phrase.
When people I say "I could care less" it kiiiilllls me. No, actually you "couldn't care less". If you "could care less" - that means you actually have fucks to give, and you could actually have less fucks to give.
If you couldn't care less, you in fact, give no fucks.
Get it right people!
