It's kinda interesting from a oral tradition standpoint...I'm far looser with spoken language than written, and that's part of the fun of language. But in places that relied on oral tradition, it has to be pretty important to keep some semblance of formality in the speech so that things stay intact over time.
Wouldn't it be great if supposably was in the dictionary, but simply put as a misspelling of supposedly, and that it is sometimes used in jest?
There's no real reason to give it its own definition if it's the same definition as "supposedly"!
