I like words that end in ly. I was once told by my boss that these words (apparently they are called adverbs) are really meaningless. Basically, they are a replacement for the word also know as "um". So which ly words am I really fond of? There are so ridiculously many that it can be hard to count.
* exceedingly - as in, "What an exceedingly marvelous event"
* terribly - as in, "I found it to be terribly dreadful"
* ridiculously - as used above
* extremely - as in, "She's extremely charming, but..."
Oh and the list can go on and on. But tacking on ly words is more certainly a great way to expand your vocabulary.
