It's Only Words...

A couple of items that have come up at least twice recently, that I hope people will keep in mind.

DEFINITELY -- For some reason, spellcheckers frequently mistake misspellings of "definitely" for "defiantly" (challenging, or aggressively contrary). In most cases, "definitely" is, uh, definitely the word they're looking for.

PRONE/SUPINE -- Lately, a couple of stories have had a character topple "prone" onto their back. "Prone" is on one's stomach, face down. It's "supine" that's face up, on one's back. Mnemonic: "supine" has "up" in it.

Hope that helps.
