I think we may need a "DUDE" login name rule. Too many DUDES and we could get mixed up who we're posting to.
Know what I mean, DUDE.

What about a rule against HOPE______?? We have a million hopefor's, hopingheart, hopefulxxx! I swear when someone uses a VERB as a screen name, I usually don't post to them because I just cannot keep their name straight! I am too feebleminded!

I swear when someone uses a VERB as a screen name, I usually don't post to them because I just cannot keep their name straight! I am too feebleminded! Are adverbs OK? Adverbs answer questions such as how, when, where, why and to what extent? Seems to me to be a useful quality in an internet handle. The adverbial function realized by single words, adverbial phrase or adverbial clause often produce interesting names. We could have adverbial names of manner (answering the question how?): extremely (hopeful); treated (mean); poorly (recovering)… Adverbs from the suffix –wise, –ways, or - like often make nice names out of any original nondescript noun: sideways, affairwise; worldlike… Adverbs formed by appending the prefix a are even better: abreast, astray, awandering… Then there are the comparative adverbs: more, most, least, and less that can build names such as morelonely, mosteasilybetrayed, leastrecovered, lessismore… You may not like verbs, but adverbs rock! Everyone should have an adverbial name. With prayers, ed: Mostly sorry, quickly heading ahomewardwise now.

Heavenly no. No need to be grossly insulting.

Speaking of adverbs, if adultery were an adverb, what would dultery be?

Personally, I embrace the adverb and the rousing tribute posted above (grammar notwithstanding). Without the adverb, I would have no job. SB
Lucky to be where I am, in a safe place to get marriage-related support.
Recovered.
Happy.

Our new marriage began that day. Not easily, but it did happen.
