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provided it isn't woefully out of date.
