Absolutely, the correct spelling is "grateful." It's a common error to write greatful, perhaps because when we say it, it sounds like 'great.' However, 'grateful' actually comes from the old word 'grate,' which means pleasing or thankful, and it has nothing to do with 'great.' This is simply another quirk of the English language. So remember, show some 'gratitude' and you'll remember it's spelled 'grateful!'.
