At first glance, the adverb may not seem like the most fascinating subject under the sun. In fact, this part of speech has sparked many passionate debates among editors, writers, and those of us who simply like to read. The current controversy is easy to summarize: Should writers avoid using the adverb entirely, or should they embrace its use enthusiastically? I have published my thoughts on this matter in the online magazine The Journal of Wild Culture. You can link to the article here. I certainly hope you enjoy the read.
