Is the adverb dying a death?

[AWendyAteMyFitbit]

Seriously this bothers me far more than is healthy.

It really seems to be more and more of a thing.

Example: "Yeah babe you did amazing".

Noooooo amazingly argh.

And it's becoming, in RL, The Norm.

I know there is a protection movement, ostensibly, for the apostrophe. I think now it's time for protection of the adverb. Those poor neglected adverbs. They're endangered I tell you!

Do no pedants care? .

In your example the word "amazing" is still being USED as an adverb.

Even if it has lots its LY.

Isn't that better than "you done amazing"

At least have 'bigly' now to make up for it

At least we have...

An error in Pedants' Corner is so much more embarrassing than anywhere else...

Muphry's Law strikes again :o

Thank you pedants ;)

Yes that wasn't the best example.

it's really really not

I also cannot stand 'I am sat here' - no, NO! 'I am sitting here'.

Humph.

. I think pedants' corner, by definition, is far scarier than AIBU.

But glad I'm not alone with my adverb pain, or lack of rather .

No, you're not alone.

One of the things which winds me up is all the people who 'eat healthy'

Arrggh

Pacific,

That is my pet hate aswell, along with "I was stood there". I just don't get it, but it may be a regional thing. Fine if so.

Well, when our Prime Minister says in an interview "I have to confess that me and my friends ..." and no-one except me appears to get irritated by it, it's a sure sign that the country will be going to the dogs unless we pedants rise up and take action!

Witness her shameful grammar here

Yes Optimist that struck me.

What action shall we take? Not sure that 'The Pedant's Party' will attract many votes!

What about eating clean

Makes me think of licking the plate

"Drive safe" or "drive careful" usually bellowed halfway down the street to someone, drives me up the wall

No. I'm sat in class to teach about adverbs each day.

Optimist, I noticed that too, and it shocked me more than the actual content (running through the fields of wheat). I cannot bear this - she was so obviously doing it to be down with the kids too (or to sound more like she thinks ordinary people sound, or something). Nobody thinks she really talks like this.

"Eating clean" annoys me for reasons far beyond grammar.
