      I hear ya, adverbs SUCK. When I read a piece with a million and a half adverbs, I immediately think the writer is very limited and unskilled. Call me a writing snob if you will, but if you can’t convey imagery or invoke thought with your words, you’re not a writer. And ending every word with “ly” is elementary.

      Super. Now you have me woefully worried, and frantically panicking over my past previously penned pieces.
      Spectacularly amazing, as usual Captain.
      I’ll keep an eye out for those sluts!

      I agree with you wholeheartedly. :-) Adverbs should be used sparingly but I have a never say never rule when it comes to grammatical rules!

      “Am I reading this Post correctly? You would strongly advise…..” (sorry, who could not read this excellent Post and not try for some….”oh, that adverb” lick.
      Not seeing myself as a ‘writer’ Post like this are interesting nonetheless, like watching a pedal steel player explain how he plays a song, even though you play only the 6 string.
      Damn! and you guys keep all these rules in mind and still write good stuff!

      (Given that I spent most of my school years trying to sneak *out of* English class, if my interest here does not prove the existance of a god with a messed-up sense of humor, then nothing does.)

        Hey! I skipped most of my English classes too. Kinda empowers me to bend the rules. And I read your stuff, man- you are hiding from the fact that you are a writer.

        Thanks for stopping by.

      You are completely right, but for some of us novice writers it much easier said then done. I’ve often wondered it writing is a skill that can be learned or a talent.
