The Death of Adverbs
No, I won’t “play fair.” I refuse to “get home safe.” Hogtie me Gitmo-style and I still won’t “think different.” Rage, I say, rage against the dying of the adverb! This stately part of speech is taking a beating from the globalization of English, text-messaging and white-boy Ebonics. Deadliest by far, though, is your lazy ass. Keep it up, and adverbs will handily beat the polar ice caps to extinction.
