right is informal american english for “correctly”. i don’t give a shit about prescriptive rules of grammar, they’re all bullshit. every last rule was created by some holier-than-thou pedant. i’m only interested in descriptive rules, i.e. grice’s maxims (the thing that finally made me understand how to get over my autism)
believe it or not i can’t remember how it all works even though i was completely obsessed with it in college. i knew how much it could benefit me if i started applying the maxims to every single thing i heard and said, which i did.
I feel like I’m walking into a trap here but:
This pedant is using an adjective as an adverb.
