I was going to post the essay on adverbs from Garner's but it is 5 or 6 pages and don't feel like going to the effort for a meme thread. It is a pretty good essay, does not go into the reasoning behind the avoidance of adverb logic but I suspect that is because the people who advocate for it do provide reasoning much beyond "because I think so" and he tends to avoid conjecture. As always he gives enough depth into the topic to get you thinking more about your usage and intent.

>>23817613I am a little world made cunninglyOf elements and an angelic sprite,But black sin hath betray'd to endless nightMy world's both parts, and oh both parts must die.You which beyond that heaven which was most highHave found new spheres, and of new lands can write,Pour new seas in mine eyes, that so I mightDrown my world with my weeping earnestly,Or wash it, if it must be drown'd no more.But oh it must be burnt; alas the fireOf lust and envy have burnt it heretofore,And made it fouler; let their flames retire,And burn me O Lord, with a fiery zealOf thee and thy house, which doth in eating heal.

I'm so sick of these fucking charlatans belligerently wanting everything to read like newspeak. I giddily make up a new word everytime I run in to one of these freaks; hopefully one day the English language becomes so resplendently bountiful the mere thought of it makes them kill themselves.

>>23828386I'm suddenly wondering if I've been using them in a fairly consistent manner. It's likely that I've been regularly doing it absentmindedly despite not knowing what an adverb is.
