Quotes by Ellen Jovin  (?)

“In New York, a fashionably dressed young woman told me, “I am an obsessive lover of footnotes,” then pulled out her phone and showed me a photo of her foot with 7 ibid tattooed on it. I had met my first footnote fetishist!”
Ellen Jovin, Rebel with a Clause: Tales and Tips from a Roving Grammarian

“Even though adverbs are the most famous ly words, there are also adjectives that end in ly. These include “friendly,” “lively,” “lovely,” “silly,” and so on. When you already have one concluding ly in a word, the conventions of English bar you from adding another, even if you are craving an adverb.”
Ellen Jovin, Rebel with a Clause: Tales and Tips from a Roving Grammarian
