Well you know what, that's a peeve you can get rid of! As it turns out, funnily is a word, more specifically, an adverb, meaning "in a funny manner", as any reliable dictionary will tell you. • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]

My pet peeve: amateur grammar nazis. As grinder kindly pointed out, "funnily" is a real word. Even if it wasn't in the dictionary, that's not what makes something a "real word". It's common usage. And "funnily enough" is a reasonably common phrase, at least where I come from (NZ originally, currently UK). I have to also wonder if this trick would work on you.	[reply]
