Save the adverb

I am a card carrying member of the Society to Save the Adverb. So far our group is only 5 strong, but recruits are welcome. Our mission is to promote the use of adverbs and to reduce the usage of adjectives as adverbs. Adjectives are hard working words and they need to rest. Using them as adverbs helps to create lazy adverbs who hang around in bars talking about the time when they too were a used and respected part of speech. They remember the day when School House Rock devoted a song to them. Some are heard singing softly, "lolly, lolly lolly... get your adverbs here"

All languages change over time, and the use of adjectives as adverbs is one that I have noticed taking place in American English. This seems mostly to be taking place by television broadcasters.
