I finally learned how to spell the word "Definitely"

Are there any common words that you've always sucked at spelling?

Guarantee and Definitely were two I always struggled with. I think my issue with Definitely has to do with the region I live in. I would always use an 'a' because how we say it around here is more de-FAN-itely than de-FIN-itely
However spending as much time on the computer as I do is really fucking with my ability to correctly spell words (which I used to be very good at). I've become lazy and just use the spell check, so I don't really think about trying to spell it right anymore, I just get it close and let the computer do it for me I actually just noticed this issue a few weeks ago.

I've always spelled it definitely. I dunno why you thought there's an A there.

It would defin-nat-ly but the 2 es sound the same. It's a word that rolls off the tongue with an a it would take way more intonation to pronounce.

Well that's the thing. It's not pronounced De-FINE-it-ly. At least not here.

I pronounce it so fast. The whole word sounds the same. Rolls off the Tongue nothing is harshly intonated. It's weird it's hard to explain intonation. Just like learning another language when you actually talk to the people that grew up speaking it there's all the little quips,sayings, and intonation that only makes sense as they grew up speaking it.

In the south we have a habit of putting emphasis on parts of a word no one else does.

Ya i like talking with people from the south as i really like that style of speak. But i pick up the way people talk really fast. If i spend a lot of time with someone I'll start picking up there little quips and style of talk
I work with quite a few mexicans and i say Adios Mio a lot in the way they say it.

I take it as there version of oh my goddd. Even though translated it's nothing like that but the intonation is exactly the same and it's basically the same meaning as the intonation is the same and it's said at the times I'd say it but with the English version.
