Grimer Girl here, I'm Minyeon Foggerty and this week I have a quick and dirty tip about

wrong versus wrongly.

A piece by Bonnie Trangamel's about subject verb agreement and a tidbit about whether

height is a word.

And now for your quick and dirty tip, should you say you did something wrong or you did

something wrongly?

Wrongly is an adverb and the word comes up a lot in news stories.

People are wrongly arrested, wrongly jailed, wrongly convicted and wrongly released.

Some people believe that since we already have the adverb wrongly, it must be the only

choice.

But wrong can also be an adverb and a noun, verb and an adjective, who knew there were

so many ways to go wrong.

But often wrong sounds right when it comes after a verb.

As in things have gone wrong, you heard wrong and you're doing it wrong.

Wrongly tends to sound better when it comes before a verb, as in wrongly accused.

And that was your quick and dirty tip.

Wrong and wrongly are both acceptable adverbs.

Now, let's learn how to boost your immunity to the illness that kills your credibility,

object, verb, inflammatory disease.

Good grammar instincts never die, even when the grammarian is lying dazed on a hospital

gurney.
