Why do so many people confuse the word "defiantly" with "definitely"?

Asked by mangeons (12288points) June 24th, 2010

While they are both words, they both have two different meanings, are pronounced differently, and the spellings aren’t even that similar. Can people really not take the time to recognize the total difference between the words “defiantly” and “definitely”? It’s something I’ve been seeing more and more recently, what’s causing this mass confusion between the two words?
