I must confess...

adverbs are like haikus

I must confess, I too like adverbs. Ban us both, oh anti-adverbs gods!

What's wrong with adverbs? It's not the adverb that is to blame, but the user.

*stalks proudly into thread*

I LOVE adverbs. And commas. I will NOT be ashamed!

yes they are

I staunchly refuse to callously abandon my adverbs. They're a perfectly functional part of speech.

*hums the theme from 'Adverb and Surely'*

I like choc-covered adverbs myself

"And starting stories with unattributed dialogue!"

Suddenly, I surprisingly feel as though I might absolutely agree with kaylea!

However, if I really think more slowly and carefully, semilarge is also probably right.

Hopefully, people will quickly see that there is probably a middle ground, and not angrily disagree. Because, if we holler too loudly and wildly, we would sadly attract the attention of a mod who might forcefully lock the thread.

Refreshingly. Purged.

Seriously.

Fragments are Hawt. Smoking Hawt.

and...ellipses...I can't live without them...I mean, how else would I respond to anything here...really

I like turtles

I like porcupines

So an adverb and a porcupine walked into a bar...

Me?

Well, I'm just crazy about bold colors. Don't ya know?
