Predominately

Some mistakenly use it as an alternative to predominantly, as in "chiefly," "primarily." Funny thing about predominately: you might not see it for long stretches, and then, like some verbal swine flu, it crops up everywhere for a few weeks. Although predominately is technically a word, it's not easy to pinpoint what it means.
