Lately one of mine has been the slovenly use of adverbs. Give the "-ly" a chance, people! Just because Apple told the world to "Think Different", that still doesn't necessarily mean it was good grammar.
The "-ly" is being so egregiously overlooked that I wonder if they are officially teaching it as not a part of an adverb or adverbial phrase. I'll have to check my Chicago Manual of Style when I get home, provided it isn't woefully out of date. Now Playing: Buffalo Tom - Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here "School House Rock!
