definately

Microsoft's Zune is Definately no iPod - and the person who made that digg post is definitely no English major.

Definate

(v.) A combination of two words: define (to assign meaning to a word) and defecate (to take a crap). To assign an arbitrary meaning to a word spontaneously; to fabricate a definition on the spot. In other words: to pull a definition out of your ass. Related: defination (n.)

In a melodious harmony, the word "definate" was, in itself, definated to become a defination.

Users at urbandictionary.com definate and submit words everyday for the benefit of the general population.

definately

A word used in place of "definitely" by the same people who write (or say) "agreeance" in place of "agreement" and "grammer" in place of "grammar".

We are definately in agreeance that your grammer is impeccable.

The correct spelling of the word "definitely" in an alternate universe. Just like Berenstein bears (previous universe) and Berenstain bears (current universe).

That statement is definately true.

definately

'Definately' enjoys a subtly different meaning from 'definitely'.
If some item x is definitely f (i.e. it definitely has the property of f-ness), then it must be f in some perfect, absolute, non-finite way.
By contrast, if some item x is definately f then x is f by definition, or is the very definition of f-ness.
The former is an ontological claim, whereas the latter is conceptual/semantic.
That's why all us clever people who spell by rational deduction rather than blind repetition use both spellings, to distinguish our precise meanings.

Of course when they bring the maple syrup after the pancakes, it'll definately be too late.
