[Arugula Latte]

1. Well, this sums it up for me:

An adverb is a word... {That's all it is, and there's a lot of 'em!}
That modifies a verb... {Sometimes a verb! Sometimes...}
It modifies an adjective,
Or else another adverb.
And so you see that it's positively, very, very, necessary.

[Warren DeMontague]

26. Ah, ye beat me to it. Verily one must move quickly

[Rex]

38. Very, very important to tell your buddy when nut gathering.

Especially when a man size squirrel shows up to gather nuts too.

[Warren DeMontague]

40. Give that man sized squirrel a man sized wreath

Still, I am not deceived by pomp and odious conceit

[pinboy3niner]

2. I'm positively strongly

[steve2470]

[PoliticAverse]

4. tentatively approve. n/t

[NaturalHigh]

Alomst as good as prepositions.

[reformist2]

8. I vehemently disapprove, 138%!!!

[pinboy3niner]

9. A little blurrily, but should improve with new glasses

[Zorra]

10. "Buy" is the most freqeuntly used ad verb used

in advertising.

[Logical]

11. You poll is not working. nt

[Loudly]

12. I *AM* one.

So I have a certain favorable bias.

[MineralMan]

13. That isn't a poll.

Cough up $10 bucks and get a star. Then we can vote in your poll. That's my advice.

[pinboy3niner]

14. ^^^^^ Curmudgeonly

[MineralMan]

15. Sometimes I am, yes.

Once the admins put the "pay what you want" star in place, it's affordable by almost everyone. It supports DU and gives DUers access to cool tools like polls, etc.

I don't care if people contribute, but you can't post a poll without a star. You can ask some questions, but it's not a DU Poll.

[pinboy3niner]

17. Pickily pickily, pickily

[MineralMan]

18. Frustratingly so, as well, I'm sure.

[CJCRANE]

21. When I get my star...

my first DU poll will be resoundingly in honor of MineralMan!

[pinboy3niner]

24. And you'll get a prompt when it's about to expire

The admins will automatically send you a PMingly.

[pinboy3niner]

27. P.S.--I think you've created the adverbial monster

SOMEBODY STOPPINGLY ME BEFORE IT'S TOO LATINGLY!!!

[CJCRANE]

16. You're right, it's not a poll. It's a joke.

But I take your point.

I used to prefer the old days of quarterly fundraisers, that was always a good prompt.

[3catwoman3]

19. I happily announce...

...that I am wholeheartedly, enthusiastically, unwaveringly, devotedly in favor of adverbs

[pipi_k]

20. Disturbingly uncaring n/t

[pinboy3niner]

22. Well that's one way to go...pollingly speaking. nt

[panader0]

23. Don't call me Surely!

[Warren DeMontague]

25. Now you've done it. Badly.

[Wounded Bear]

28. Useful, but should be used sparingly...

[Nye Bevan]

29. Drive safe (nt)

[wandy]

30. OK, this is going too far. This is DU. I don't even expect people to be politically correct here..

Much let alone the proper use of the Queens English.
What the heck. I'm a moose. Next thing I know you might want me to spell righteously.
Just one thing I want to know.
Were I to use an adverb in a comment would it be....

* Adverb
or...
/* Adverb */
or...
# Adverb
or...
REM Adverb


Now that is the question.

[cthulu2016]

37. Since the only thing worth describing is nouns, I don't use 'em

"The man walked briskly..." See? There's the problem in a nutshell.

Walkin' is walkin'.

Who cares how the feller walks? He could walk like Frankenstein for all I care. I don't even know the man.

[CJCRANE]

39. Walkin' is walkin'...

or strollin' or saunterin' or marchin' or hikin'...

Synonymously speakin'.
