I think the adverb is a much-maligned part of speech. It's always accused of being oppressive, even tyrannical, when in fact it's so supple and sly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Adverbs lead to overwriting. Try taking them out and reading your prose again to see how it sounds. Simple and less words are more powerful.
You have to look at the value of different kinds of words. Adjectives weaken, and adverbs come even farther down the line. Verbs are strong; verbs and nouns.
I can't ad-lib, or not for long.
Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
A good ad should be like a good sermon: It must not only comfort the afflicted, it also must afflict the comfortable.
Ignorant free speech often works against the speaker. That is one of several reasons why it must be given rein instead of suppressed.
You get to a point where the factual adjudication doesn't matter because there are all these other outlets that are far less responsible, all talking about the ad, some of which have a political reason for promoting it.
I don't know why people think I'm this ad-lib dude.
I adore adverbs; they are the only qualifications I really much respect.
I don't really know what an adverb is. A dangling participle? That sounds really rude. I don't know what character is, really. Plot seems vaguely juvenile to me. It's all about language, it's all about how you apply it to the page.
