Yes, you correctly modified the adjective pointless using the adverb annoyingly.

If you hadn't, I would not have known that not only were they pointless, but the pointlessness of them has the quality of causing annoyance.

Thank you for using an adverb in a manner which adds to the meaning of your sentence, giving them a point and refuting your former statement. Truly a masterful display of the English language.

Yeh but the creator of that inage must have known the quote is 'et tu brute' even if he doesnt know anything about latin and should have used 'froge' if he didnt know that pepe is the name which works better anyway

Do not use adverbs. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

Nothing.

The Hemingway cult of todays creative writing programs is fucking annoying.

There's nothing inherently wrong with anything
problems start to emerge when your trying to impress your reader with things

which used to be the case with adverbs at the time hemingway wrote
which is the case with cutting them as this poster expressed

Since I'm nearing retirement I'll let you in on a little secret: we few talented, successful writers tell all aspiring writers not to use adverbs so we don't have to deal with as much competition. The truth is that they're useful. Just read Nabokov, Joyce, Woolf -- nearly any of the great writers -- and you'll find countless adverbs.

>> No.6239149

nothing, as long as they're actually doing work. so they should be employed sparsely
