Ah, thanks! (Not a native speaker.)
- valleyer 4y agoFWIW, they are either joking or just wrong about "dailily". "Daily" by itself is a perfectly fine adverb, and I've never heard or seen "dailily". To prevent cavities, brush your teeth twice daily.
- wizofaus 4y agoNot sure what the GP was on, "exemplarily" is a word but not often used, at least in speech (vs say "in an exemplary manner". Though in this case that doesn't work, perhaps "clear and exemplary" though it doesn't quite mean the same thing). "Dailily" is definitely not ("daily" is both an adjective and adverbial form).
- tpmx 4y agoHow would you rephrase my comment above? ("This is exemplarily clear communication from a government agency.")
- wizofaus 4y agoI just edited my post to give suggestion though honestly in this case, given what you intended to convey and being a written format "exemplarily" is actually a pretty good choice of word! Just a bit of a mouthful to say out loud.
- tpmx 4y agoThanks. I guess I boxed you in with my sentence structure. (I'm Swedish.)
- PopAlongKid 4y agoJust yesterday I (native English speaker) was reading a novel and the word "lonelily" was used, I thought it was an error but now see it is considered acceptable as an adverb at least according to one online dictionary.[0] [0]https://www.collinsdictionary.com/ko/dictionary/english/lonelily https://www.collinsdictionary.com/ko/dictionary/english/lone...
- euroderf 4y agoIt was a lame joke. Please accept my apologies!
