And he did NOT have the urge to scrub his eyeballs out with bleach after beta reading Very Much Alive, unlike some people we both know. <br /><br />P.P.S.: Besides, "burlily" just didn't roll of the tongue, ya know? Who goes around saying burlily? That doesn't sound like a man, it sounds like a flower. YOU try and work "burlily" into a sentence. "He was burlily masculine"?<br /><br />P.P.P.S.: Seriously? I've just been looking for an excuse to put up the Lolly song. I've had it running around in my head for DAYS. ;DDana Marie Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658055694533650313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587550236172295383.post-7380916115561058672009-05-27T01:24:39.468-04:002009-05-27T01:24:39.468-04:00Would now be a bad or good time to point out that ...Would now be a bad or good time to point out that burly appears to be an adjective? It's modifying the noun 'man', not a verb or adjective. Not all words that end in 'ly' are adverbs. For example, 'lolly', which was a noun, specifically a candy on a stick, at least until webspeak got hold of it.Robert C Romanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955223936635159755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587550236172295383.post-50705858135460211752009-05-26T16:04:35.866-04:002009-05-26T16:04:35.866-04:00Mmm, big and burly... lol!Mmm, big and burly... lol!Dana Marie Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658055694533650313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7587550236172295383.post-52760823634520108842009-05-26T16:02:27.079-04:002009-05-26T16:02:27.079-04:00But it is truly funny.
