> So no, you did in fact call them stupid, not their comment. I mean, fine, if we're going to be grammar nerds, let's do it. "Stupidly" is an adverb. It applies to the act of phrasing not the subject doing that verb. At the moment that the person was doing the phrasing, they were doing something in a stupid manner, but that doesn't necessarily imply that they are themselves generally stupid. For example, I can "randomly choose a card from a deck." That doesn't imply that I'm a particularly random person.
