DEFINITELY

I always have trouble remembering how to spell this word. I googled it to make sure it was right and this site popped up. Someone really wants to make sure we know how to spell it! And below is the dictionary definition and I just have ONE question. If you don't know the meaning of the word DEFINITELY what are the possibilities you'll know the meaning of the word UNAMBIGUOUSLY??

–adverb 1. in a definite manner; unambiguously.
2. unequivocally; positively.
