One word i can not spell no matter how hard I try is definetley. Definetly. Definetley. I know there's no 'a' in it, but it's just one of those words for me.

I'm pretty good with most other words and grammatical structure of sentences, but I agree, this shit is butchering the English language. I wasn't aware that teachers were allowing students to hand in assignments in text speak etc. I would say right off the bat to my students if you hand something in written in leet speak, text speak or any other form of shorthand, I'm not going to read it and you automatically fail. That's just me though. I also wouldn't be showing an Inconvenient Truth in Science class. Movies are for lazy teachers, and it's even worse when the science is debatable.
