Personally I think adverbs, split infinitives etc have their place sometimes; just know the rules, know why they're there, and then be free to break them. <br /><br />On a side note, I kind of like the idea of sending a blank page to an agent or publisher, with a note attached saying it's a modern art piece: the written equivalant of John Cage's composition 4'33".Franklin Beaumonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950277803662347842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930401.post-5957417205218598512010-08-16T14:09:48.723-04:002010-08-16T14:09:48.723-04:00That was awesome!

I understand the reasoning behind it - there is a lot of stuff out there that could benefit from swapping an adverb-verb combo with a stronger verb.<br /><br />But it's not warranted in every case. Sometimes the cadence of the sentence blossoms with the use of a one- or two-syllable adverb.<br /><br />So I still use them (including the dreaded -ly words), but I use them sparingly. :)<br /><br />Great post, btw!roh morgonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06823641709307631626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5930401.post-7390090901668438812010-08-15T12:19:52.978-04:002010-08-15T12:19:52.978-04:00Hi,

Was inspired by <a href="http://evmaroon.wordpress.com/2010/08/13/the-death-of-the-adverb/" rel="nofollow">"The Death of the Adverb"</a> on @4evermore's blog. And, well, a million other little things I've encountered.<br /><br />@j.leigh.bailey - thanks!
