Google and webster didn't...

Post

Let's see if you guys can: What's the meaning of 'balantly' as in 'balantly lying'

It does not show in dictionaries. As a non native speaker I get the phrase, but I'm lost with the word.

TIA!

EDIT: Wrog forum, sorry. Mods please move it...

the webster will tell you if you spell it right :wink:
blatantly
One entry found.

Main Entry: bla·tant
Pronunciation: \ˈblā-tənt\
Function: adjective
Etymology: perhaps from Latin blatire to chatter
Date: 1596
1 : noisy especially in a vulgar or offensive manner : clamorous
2 : completely obvious, conspicuous, or obtrusive especially in a crass or offensive manner : brazen <blatant disregard for the rules>
synonyms see vociferous
— bla·tant·ly adverb
so this time I would recommend spell checker, which has been incorporated with MS Word for more than ten years. A licensed Office 97 copy for $ 10 from ebay will do.
