omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Aimée -She went next door and came back with three parakeets.

Lunch? did she share? Do they come plucked? Or do you swallow whole (a la Sylvester)? ;)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

My assistant used to come back from her break with live lobster or crab. I'd be talking with her and the bag in the corner of her office would twitch. Very disturbing, and yet I miss it.

Yay, Beth.

Isn't it usually "definitively" proved, rather than definitely proved?

I think both are OK. And "definitively" carries the connotation of authoritatively, and unchangeably. (I think in some definitions that is even the denotation.) Whereas "definitely" means "certainly", but is still subject to change. I definitely have a quarter in my pocket, but I don't definitively have a quarter in my pocket, because after I park downtown and put it in the meter, I will no longer have that quarter.

What is even happening?

I don't like either "definitely" or "definitively" between the "am" and the "proved" (or "proven").

That said, I think it's:

I have been proved wrong

or

I am proven wrong

I'd lose either "def" word, but if you want one, put it before the "wrong".
