None of the following words are interchangeable.
suppository/supposedly (seen on forum today)

and "thru" is as in drive thru! :)
i have a really hard time believing that people would suppository get some of these words mixed up.
actually, i do believe it because i, too, have seen it far too often. but "suppository" for "supposedly"? i would be spewing my coffee all over the keyboard.
