Rant On The Non-spoken "l-y"
Yay, it's my first rant!
*throws confetti*
Some of you may have no idea what the title suggests, actually most of you don't, that's why I'm explaining it. Got it?
How would you normally say the following phrase? "Give me the ball, quick!" or "Give me the ball fast"? Actually neither are true, it's suppossed to be, "Give me the ball quickly".
Here's another one. "Jack runs slow" or "Jack runs slowly"? Of course you know what it really is, it's, "Jack runs slowly".
My point is is that most of the time we don't use "l-y" in our speech, and not just in these instances, no, but in many more than these, we're just too lazy to just say it, "l-y". We've done bad.
...
Uh, I mean "badly".
So there it is, my silly rant, laugh at it if you will, but I like it.
More rants coming soon...

EDIT: Um yeah, Shine is smarter than I am.
EDIT 2: So yeah, ToM is smarter than I am too. Basically, everyone can ignore this rant, since it wasn't presented in the right manner.
