    Default Being defiant!

    I'm hardly a grammar Nazi, but I do notice some frequent autocorrect mistakes.

    You know, the ones that make what you wanted to say pretty much the exact opposite.

    Example... "she's a lovely woman, will defiantly meet her again".

    I don't think there's a need to be so stern about it!

    Definitely is one of the most misspelled words in the English language.
    Unfortunately, many spell checkers suggest “defiantly” for most misspellings of “definitely”
    Definitely even has its own website.

    Lol that's a great website. I'll defiantly use it in the future. Now, was that a correct use or not?
