Maybe it's not completely in-line with the spirit of the thread, but I want to bitch anyway:
I am constantly seeing people type 'defiantly' when they mean 'definitely.' The jury's out on whether this really irks me or not. If I'm in a suboptimal mood it might annoy me to see such language decay, but when I'm more mirthful it amuses me to picture whatever activity is described in the thread/post/email/blog as taking on a distinctly rebellious tone.
"I defiantly ate something that didn't agree with me."
"I will defiantly be there."
And so forth.
