Pet Peeve: Spelling of 'Separate'

The myriad misspellings of "definitely" definitely peeve me more than
any other spelling error I see.  It isn't defanitely.  It isn't
defenitely.  It isn't definately.  But points for creativity.  (Note:
don't remember seeing this particular error anywhere on this here
esteem'd listserv; but on other, and to all other appearances
intelligent, forums...)
