Great and balanced article Nola. I like how you explain the reasons why it's better not to overuse adverbs without totally prohibiting them (as some seem to do). I've found being tough on adverbs has improved my writing :)
Thanks Jenny. I'm not sure if you also read the little story I linked to, but that was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek response to the extreme view that you can't use them at all. I find it does improve the writing though if you "think before you adverb" :) Thanks for the feedback.
