Definitely some mistake?

[dc]

According to the search thing there have been 177 instances of the word definately in the last year (178 now I guess) on this Forum and ZERO uses (well 2 now) of definitely. This compares unfavourably with Google where 31.5m plays 211m.

The End. Sorry.

Edit for: my mistake - the search thing appears not to recognise definitely. How odd.

[????]

Surely some mistake?

[mightyroar]

It has been noticed before..........

and apparently the search bar does have a blind spot:

It is definitely a quirk in the system

[mockney piers]

It used to be in denial about definately altogether, so good it's finally admitting East Dulwich's speling problem.

[citizenED]

Mockney, "....East Dulwich's speling problem...." you are such a wit. Or is that my spelling mistake?

[KalamityKel]

Ooooo I get it now!

[karter]

What ever you do, don't type the word *specialist* as your post will not post becuase of it....( another quirk in the system)

[SeanMacGabhann]

I think that quirk got sorted karter

I'm a serial* poor joke reuser already..I get it :-$

*must .. fight ... temptation...to write.........cereal.....

[Moos]

No, no Mockers, it was a genuine homage to a post that made me laugh out loud.

In my opinion, one should use the right tool for the right occasion, regardless of whether it's been used before.

Heavens, am I on the right thread?! :-$

[mockney piers]

ok :-$

[Moos]

Oh Lord... see what happens when one tries to be nice?

Never again! I shall be vile to all and sundry from now on, watch out.

Pfeh! Whots sa dificlult abot Kyrgyzstan anyyaw?

[mockney piers]

That's the spirit, join huguenot in piracy, for as we all know, global warming is directly linked to the lack of pirates (proper pirates, with parrots and stuff)in the world.

[Moos]

Rahhrr! (6)

Howzat?

[Ant]

Rubbish. Pirates don't play cricket.

[Moos]

They do, but not for long. One six, and the game's over.

[Ant]

Nah, they'd be off with the stumps before the first over was, er, over. They need 'em for their peg legs, you see.

[LostThePlot]

LBW's can be harder, or easier, depending on the handedness of the pirate...

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Don't be so sure Ant ...
