Perhaps you might care to join me in my quixotic fantasies of forming a society for the rescue and salvation of the adverb. Hrm. I will assume you understand that I am not referring to any interest whatsoever in the spiritual condition of the adverb. I would simply prefer it continues to exist as well respected and correctly used part of speech I want to cry when I hear a report for NPR claiming that something was done "faster" rather than "more quickly."<br /><br />I was particularly pleased with your words about the use of "hopefully."
