What R3 said. There is DEFINITELY no 'A' in the word "definitely".
And it's utterly ridiculous to spell the word "ridiculous" with an 'e'.

A person is cast in a play, not casted.
A role on a TV show is recast, not recasted.
A party costs $500, not costed.

I saw this one on the closed captioning of "The Roosevelts": "straight jacket." It seems to have become almost accepted usage these days, along with "step foot in," "butt naked," and "should have went."

Hilarious bestiality story: On Squirt dot org, if you turn in somebody for a number of infractions, such as advertising a competing website, you get 5 free days of their premium service, such that it is.
In their reporting form, one narc category is 'bestiality.' I reported somebody for this a couple weeks ago. They were seeking a farm or large dog situation, per their profile. Anyway, Squirt only gave me 3 free days instead of 5! I wrote them and asked, "Did you reduce the number of days for reporting bad profiles?" and they replied, "No, it's still 5 days for most categories, but only 3 for reporting bestiality."

So many people sell "dinning tables" on OfferUp. To the point I want to message them and ask them to correct it.
Villian v Villain...it's the latter, and even I get this one mixed up as an English major.
Finally, I've worked in hotels for 20 years, and it's always astounded me when I see an email, memo, or guest complaint re: the "manger." Who can't spell "manager," and if they couldn't, how the hell can they spell the thing that Baby Jesus was born in?!? Several memos from the "mangers" themselves have had this snafu: "If you have any questions, please speak to your manger." I finally told one "manger"--who was a know-it-all bitch--that I didn't think Jesus was born in her. She was perplexed, until I showed her a Post-It where I'd spelled out "manger" and "manager." Needless to say she wasn't pleased, but I sure as hell enjoyed bringing her down several levels.

and i have to deal with this on a daily basis as i'm a loan processor and one of our title companies (!) doesn't know that they are spelling this incorrectly. i also have several co-workers who have been in the business for years that don't know the difference.
