And the inability to use any adverbs.

Except 'overly' when over is a perfectly acceptable adverb.
According to my dictionary overly is American or Scottish!

Which made me think to check underly in a USA source. To find people
thinking it an alternative spelling of underlie and/or underlay.


I had always thought that 'upcoming' was a word used only in adverts,
until I actually heard somebody use it in conversation. It still sounds
horrid.
