Horribly...

I had sent an sms to one of my friends today and she responded saying that I had used 3 *ly words in quick succession.

I received the comment just as I was leaving for lunch and it got me thinking. After I came back from lunch, I responded thus:

"Actually the only reason why I probably used so many ly-s is simply a case of me not specifically analysing my text for any silly mistakes. Simply put, i sent that message erroneously before i had time to carefully read it out loudly to see if it would affect anyone profusely. I practically wasted the lovely lunch thinking of what to reply. If the weather had been chilly, its likely that i would have just sent across a smiley.". Its not a piece of literature that would have made Mr.Seshappa Iyer turn green with envy, but I was very happy with my capacity to insert so many ly-s into the message.

My company better give me a proper project to manage before I start proving the proverb that an idle mind is the devil's workshop.
