Your grade school taught you that adverbs are a form of virtue signaling?

No one will fall apart and burst into tears because of an adverb they read in the mountain of documentation we have to read to get the job done.

Navel-gazing of the highest order.

You lost me there again, my friend. Technical writing stylebooks draw no correlation between adverbs and nervous breakdowns. You seem to be tilting at an entirely different windmill than the one I'm tending to.
