| is definate and definite spelt one way in English and American English?? im not sure as i always spell it the correct way according to this thread, but i get pissed off when i get told mum should be spelt mom and favourite, favorite because some American dude thinks it can only be spelt the one way and his way has to be right. |
I think spelling definite correctly is the least of your grammar issues. |

Of course, spelling in the English language is not so phonetic when compared to other European languages, and since people do not read as much as they used to, spelling is a major problem among many people.
I see people using definately all the time. I don't say anything about it, because it's such a common error, and you don't want to come across as some spelling snob. Then, of course, you have people using to instead of too when they want to signify something similar to the word also. |

| Oh, and it's: "bear with me" and "bear in mind" unless you want to get undressed together or are thinking of nude people. |

That delightful mistake has elicited a snigger or two from myself on more than one occasion on these forums. |
