The Glasgow accent for the word hospital.
We had a boss who came from Glasgow and thanks to his Glasgow accent he spoke about ‘Dindee’ instead of Dundee.

sorry Rross, I know I have stepped into your trap but I could not help myself!

Definitely or Definately? Definitely NOT DEFINETLY
This word was formed from Latin definitus, the past participle of the verb definire ‘to bind, limit’. It was first adopted into English in the 16th century to mean ‘in a definite manner, precisely’. It has always been spelled definitely, and our 16th century ancestors would be surprised to learn that, according to a survey reported in The Daily Record in June 2009, definitely is ‘definately the most misspelled word in the English language’. Despite being in widespread use, the misspelling definately comes in for considerable scorn. The Urban Dictionary has a separate entry for definately, which it defines as: ‘Idiot-speak for “definitely”. One of the most common moronic misspellings found on the Internet’. And just to make absolutely clear the kind of people with whom the spelling is associated, the following example is offered: ‘The new Backstreet Boys CD is, like, definately the best thing ever’.
