I've always been a reasonably decent speller, but thanks to the proliferation of spell checkers, I notice there is one word in particular that I never ever spell correctly, even when I stop to think about it before typing:
real spelling: definitely
my spelling: definately
I can tell myself all I want that it is "finite" surrounded by "de-" and "-ly" but it never seems to do any good. And for some reason it's a word I use all of the time in email. I'm definately doomed.

I can do "definitely" but darn if I can get "occaisionally" on the first try. See? One "c"? Two "c"s? Is it "ai" or just "a"? Occasionally? Ah, forget it.
