Does the LT db link English adjectives with their adverbs?
If so, I'm thinking of making the below come with a quick Correct.

Never mind. I've decided that JJ is better way. Here's what I've come up with:
<rule id="IN_A_X_MANNER" name="Wordiness: in a ... manner">
<pattern>
<token>in</token>
<token>a</token>
<token postag="JJ"><exception
regexp="yes">preparatory|good|modern|christian</exception></token>
<token>manner</token>
</pattern>
<message>Consider replacing "in a X manner"
with adverb for X; eg, "in a hasty manner" with "hastily".</message>
<short>Possibly wordy</short>
<example type="incorrect">He came
<marker>in a hasty manner</marker>.</example>
<example type="correct">He came hastily.</example>
