Are Adverbs banned in the USA?
Run quick......
I hear and read these types of expressions constantly and always wonder what happened to the next word (e.g. eat healthy foods) and it then dawns on me that the statement should have been...
Eat healthily
Run quickly
The "ly" bit changes the word to an ADVERB and makes grammatical sense! This is not just an example of changing linguistic styles, it is simply WRONG!!!!
Now it wouldn't be so bad if the mistakes were just made by pimply faced kids, but I hear it on news reports and the like, where they should know better.
Please repeal the law against adverbs so that I can understand what is being written and said.
Given the latest rule re posts, is this to be classified as religious? Destroying the English language seems to have a religious fervour in the USA.
Oh, and by the way, most words like running and staying have a "g" on the end, making the "ing" sound, but that is probably for another post.
For those who will rant against this post, please remember that I employ BBD* Security.
