[Loch-Ruadh] Grammer Police (was: regional Fighter practice)

[Richard Threlkeld]

My pet peeve is dropping the "ly" ending on adverbs. That is, using adjectives for adverbs. Related to that is good versus well. 
 
My mother collected one of the worst from a rural Texas high school principal who had been the local coach. It was on the loudspeaker on Monday morning after a football game the previous Friday. 
 
"You football boys done real good!" - translated "The football team did really well."
 
Oh, well. This comes of having a mother who taught grammar for years.
