Take the following strings, from Three Planes Aligned's lecture:

@45035 = ~"Alignment is a descriptor of one's beliefs, and how one acts upon those beliefs. At their core, all creatures predominately behave in one of three ways: with good in their heart, with evil in their heart, or indifference - or neutrality - in their heart. They predominately express each of these core behaviors in one of three different ways: in an ordered manner, in a chaotic manner, or in an indifferent, neutral manner. Thus, there are nine core alignments that one is capable of."~

I submit that the correct word is "predominantly", and while "predominately" is an actual word, it is used incorrectly in both cases in that sentence. I contend they cannot be used interchangeably.

Am I correct?

Great link for answering the question, appreciated. Missed it in my own search. I won't change it then.

(Even though you could count me among the "critics".)
