One of the most common spelling mistakes I see is defiantly replacing definitely. I don't know what makes a person choose "defiance" but it certainly makes me chuckle. It can give a sentence a whole new meaning, totally out of context with the style and subject matter, and one the writer probably didn't intend! As you know, I love words, so the uprightness of definitely as a positive and absolute word clashing with the rebelliousness and insolence of defiantly is sheer brilliance for me. I think we should hand them over to Harry Hill and let them fight it out ;)

AuthorBlogging is an amazing concept so here I am giving it a whirl. You'll get words. You'll get pics. Sometimes a vid or two. You'll get tongue in cheek, the odd humble opinion and an honest insight into my travels and writing life. Maybe even a few gems along the way. I'll be musing on home turf as I see more and more of the UK and sharing my experiences further afield on holidays and adventurous trips across the globe. Archives
