    Perhaps she hasn’t realized that the “ever after” point hasn’t been reached yet.

    Doesn’t ‘happily’ modify the verb ‘lived’? Just saying…

    “Happily” and “Ever” both modify “After”.

    The secret to their “happily ever after” might lie in separate bedrooms in separate parts of town

    So all you misogynists have to reinforce the nagging wife stereotype, but no one comments the joke isn’t funny because it’s inaccurate? “Happily” is an adverb modifying “lived” and is grammatically correct.

    I think “ever after” actually modifies “happily”. Am I wrong? Methinks the queen is not so smart.

    Is it a female trait to get a man ensnared (for whatever reason) and then set to work on changing him into something he is not?

    If it’s a predicate adjective, implied subject OK, no problem. If it modifies “live,” that’s a different story.

    I had an substitute English teacher in High School that was from Bastun (Boston) that pronounced Grammar as “Gramma” — it took a while to understand her speech idioms but she had a great sense of humor and within a couple of days had made a list of words of what she said verses what we thought she said.

    If she were truly a Grammar Queen, she would know that the adverb “happily” modifies the VERB “lived” (as does the phrase, “every after”). And yeah, I’m the daughter AND granddaughter of English teachers.
