Hi Gary, It's not goofy at all. :-) How do you handle adverbs which do not refer to an event but to the subject of that event? For example: "She nicely combs her hair.". There are two (maybe contrary) meanings hidden in this simple clause: (1) As the one combing her hair, she is nice. (2) She performs nice combing of her hair. That's my input for now. I hope it is somehow inspiring... :-) All the best, Harald
