    Grateful. As in having gratitude.

    Greatful isn't a word, but it probably should be for those occasions when something is so full of great that it needs a new word to describe it.

    This Irish thing of "I seen" really needs to die in a fire. It's endemic at this stage.

    Grateful. The word stems from "Gratus".

    We need a greater appreciation of irony too, we're not Americans.

    There is a grate full of ash in the living room, clean it out and put down a fresh fire.

    If you google 'greatful' you get a message asking "did you mean grateful" because 'greatful' isn't a word.

    "Grateful" comes from the same places as "gratitude."

    "Definitely" comes from the same place as "finish" / "finite." <
    If everyone could stop spelling it as "definately," that'd be...... (wait for it)....... great.
