If they absolutely make sense in the context in which they've been used why come up with some contrivance of language. Some of these choices on the list are trite and don't necessarily convey the same meaning. I wonder who first became so annoyed with adverbs? When I was a kid in school we were encouraged to use them. I usually don't even notice them when I'm reading. But then again I don't notice a lot of things when I'm reading.<br /><br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-51316702339546952142011-09-29T21:58:57.896-05:002011-09-29T21:58:57.896-05:00Great list, some on there I wouldn't have thou...Great list, some on there I wouldn't have thought of using :-)Sarah Tokeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273148070092101085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8433839509609523237.post-6863600458692886332011-09-29T20:06:12.201-05:002011-09-29T20:06:12.201-05:00Great new series!
