By cropping tight around the subject you eliminate the background "noise", ensuring the subject gets the viewer's undivided attention.I want to crop tightly, but can only crop . . . tight. Crop tight . . . what? Crop tight pants? It feels unfinished, unsatisfying. Unsatisfactory.

See, now, he would've lost me with the "I want you so bad" text. Surely he wants me badly. Unless . . . he wants me to be bad? Oh. I may have misjudged this one.

Twitter, of course, is not the best place to find examples of good grammar. In fact, I went there specifically looking for examples of adverb abuse for this blog post. I was not disappointed.
From FML |
- he may snore loud snorts, but if the word "snorts" is missing, he must snore loudly; and
- he doesn't lay on his side, he lies on his side. Either that, or there is a noun missing: he lays [his arm] on his side.
Oh, adverb, you are as fleeting as spring snow, as elusive as a rainbow. Bravely you struggle against grammatical entropy, valiantly will I fight for your cause.
