“definately,” i guess? if i wasn’t sure and sounded it out, there’d be an “a” in that spot. great, now i have to go watch videos of people pronouncing it to find out if i’ve been saying it weird my whole life.
“wierd” maybe comes from not realizing it’s an exception to the ol’ “i before e” rule. or just accidentally swapping them.
Genuinely confused where people would put an A in definitely? Or why someone would spell weird as wierd??

i think I’ve misspelled it “defenitely” or definetely" before but it doesn’t sound like an a at all to me
also the i before e rule is useless, there’s like more exceptions than words that follow it

yeah i like the longass song they had to write at the end of this article to show how the rule would actually read if it was accurate
