“if you’re using it a lot, you’re probably using it wrong.”
No, you’re using it wrongly. Using adjectives instead of adverbs is an all-too common error.
I LOL'ed at this. And then again when someone (as well as the dude who wrote the article, I think) was all "NUH UH I WAS TOTALLY RIGHT" and goes on to explain why using an example that has nothing to do with this statement. Good vs. well is one thing (though god I do hate it when people, especially people who claim to be good at grammar (LIKE MY STEPMOM), use it incorrectly), but what if, as I just did, instead of the word "wrong," he used "incorrect"?
