    This is why Ms. Smith gave up teaching and went into the frozen pie business.

    Slow is an adjective, but slowly is an adverb.

    Quick is an adjective, but quickly is an adverb.

    Rapid is an adjective, but rapidly is an adverb.

    Fast is an adjective, so, would fastly be an adverb?

    Just change it to “more gooder” and send it. It’s the thought that counts!

    Ms Smith is an entitled privileged minority hired through the affirmative action initiative and bullet proof because they/them is protected by the teachers’s union and whole decks lf uncivil rights cards. Lots of them around, boy howdy, Or a football coach.

    “Goodly” ? Obviously a word borrowed from tRumps limited vocabulary.

    Well, at least “goodly” really is a word. It’s just used incorrectly here.

    A goodly portion of Ms. Smith’s former students write better than this. So I would hope, anyway.

    It has been many years; therefore, Pig has forgotten a lot of what Ms. Smith taught him.

    Reminds me a of recent story about a teacher that was arrested for being drunk in her classroom. It turns out there isn’t a law against that, but she still lost her job. I’d need more than booze to make it through a day in a room full of spoiled brats.

    “Goodly” means either pleasantly attractive or significantly large. It’s an adjective, not an adverb.

    Words ending with “ly” should be banned, especially in an election year

    At the college I went to my first year, engineering students weren’t required to take English. The version of today’s gag I learned was, “4 yeers ago I couldn’t spel enjinear and now I are one.”

    I remember that at one time someone wrote a manual to teach non-English teachers English. The title was “English as it is Goodly Spoken.” Maybe that was Pig’s textbook.

    In a previous teaching job of mine, the students and I joked about how my penmanship on the white board could’ve been better. They told me I needed to write “more gooder” … always made me laugh.
