'Defiantly' is pretty popular (but, I always think, a product of auto correct), but 'definately' is more popular than the options you list, none of which I've seen before, I think.

My highlight of the week has been watching Her Maj ask Stephen Hawkings whether he still spoke in a funny voice. Sadly Phil the Greek was on his best behaviour and offended no one. No one! I want my money back.

Please tell me she didn't really.
What a disappointment, that'd be my royalism right out the window.

Oliver, remind me to talk to you about my German colleague who used to be at Oceana. She's not adjusting well to British life / culture / approaches to asking people to give >£1m. She was more rude to Phil the Greek than he could ever be to others...

It's OK, she was just defying him, it's hard to get out of Germans.

also, people who waffle on about "A Brief History of Time" being impenetrable. It was the fcking Prof. Brian Cox TV show of the 90s. Try reading any of SH's actual academic work you dullard.

Tell me, is Waterloo on fire?

Four million years of doing that has finally paid off for me so now I can safely be annoyed when other people fuck it up.
I can also spell commission and (as of today) accelerate (two cees, one ell)
*takesabow
Decelerate OTOH, just the one ell. Spend some time recently thinking about why. Not sure I got to the bottom of it. Am thinking about lobbying the OED to include "celerate" to mean: maintain a steady pace.
And while we're at it, surely the abbreviation of umbrella should be "brelly".

And FYI, I still work in Waterloo station the and fire alarm test is still every Wednesday at 10am and still a deafening: "ATTENTION! THERE IS AN EMERGENCY IN YOUR AREA!" to which without fail every week I silently riposte: "Attention! There's an emergency in *YOUR *area"
Thanks LFGSS.

European social movements have also put in place debt audits, especially in countries hardly hit by the sovereign debt crisis, such as Greece and Spain.

I can never spell definitely properly, thankfully I know this and always spell check it.
When confused, I always put my thumb over the suffix -ly in adverbs and see if the rest makes a sense.
