Adverbs? We Don't Need No Stinking Adverbs!

As society continues to be dumbed-down, the lowest common denominator continues to be catered to and coddled. I'm not sure when he took a turn for the worse, but our old friend the Adverb has been neglected in common conversation, and even by supposed professionals in advertising copy, to the point that the poor fella is now on life support. That simple "ly" added much to help us describe . . . sadly, many won't even know he's gone.  Lolly, Lolly, Lolly - we hardly knew ya.
