And I even used two in the previous sentence.<br /><br />My editor said that the adverb is like a strong spice. That being said, I search, analyze the sentence and sometimes I keep it. So, I am not doing away with the adverb entirely. There I go again...entirely.<br /><br />Nancy<br /> <a href="http://nrwilliams.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">N. R. Williams, fantasy author</a>N. R.

It has bugged me since this trend came to my attention. I mean, what are we thinking by making outcasts of an entire classification of words? They mean something! They add clarity and richness to our language. They set English apart from the click languages (maybe?) and from cave men. We NEED adverbs. Well, I do. I like them! And I will defiantly continue to use them (but I'll at least try to use them in CONJUNCTION with pithy verbs.) Is that a good enough rant?Jennifer Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13073947223053099280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517028526883601425.post-54673705418604798062010-10-07T12:19:51.259-07:002010-10-07T12:19:51.259-07:00I LOVE this post!
