I know. A post after a post. But this is unrelated to the last, so I figured it deserved its own box.

I have certain difficulties using some adverbs because they don't sound right to my ears. In other words, I don't think I use them in every-day speech, so when I write them, they just seem awkward.

For example:
"Clark, what are you doing?" Lois asked hurriedly. "We need to get to work before we're late!"

I cannot for the life of me make hurriedly roll off my tongue.

Same thing with the word easier when used in certain ways. I can't read this without wanting to change it:
"Well," said Clark, "it just seems that when you help me, the suit comes off easier."
"Well," said Clark, "it just seems that when you help me, the suit comes off more easily."

Is this just a weird Lynn-issue or is it something else?
