Until around two years ago, I used to use a lazy method to translate some words to English. I do not know if it has a name. It is based on the similarity between English and Portuguese, and English language patterns.
In Portuguese, definitely is written this way:
Definitivamente.
So, with that lazy method, I would delight you all with:
Definitively.
But I ceased to be lazy.
I do not care if people have an horrible English. Not just because mine is horrible. I just do not care. But some Portuguese errors manage to annoy me.
An important piece of my English I learn in forums - movies, music and video games are the other teachers
But learning Portuguese in Brasilian forums is almost impossible. We speak too much Internetish and "Miguchês" (Dearcutefriendish):
Olá. Não entendi o que você disse hoje mais cedo. (Hello. I did not understand what you said today earlier.)
becomes
olá. num entendi o q vc disse hj + cedo. (Internetish)
oiêeee111! naum tindi u q voxXxê dixXxe hj +++ xeduu! (Miguchês, which is spoken at photo-based blogs)
Almost all of the members of this forum moderate themselves very well, so mistakes are perfectly forgiveable, in my humble opinion.
Cheers.
