I used my Meriam Webster dictionary app on my iPod Touch. And... no results. I was confused. I decided to look it up on the internet when I got a chance. Naturally, I didn't remember to until now. The stupid Google search bar decided I meant "feverishly". NO. I meant "fervishly". Why would I write "feverishly or feverishly"????? Anyway, here are my results:

Whoa. Fervishly is like, not a word. Like, literally. WHAT. I have seen it in at least 50 books! Hm.
Hmmm. I wonder if they mean "fervently". Which is apparently a synonym for feverishly...http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fervently
ReplyDeletehey Me, did you click on any of the links in that last photo? cause some of them have the word fervishly in them...
ReplyDeleteI’ve been dealing with the same apparent “letdown” I guess? I’ve always thought there was a real word from the English dictionary, Fervishly, that meant in a hurry, speedily, hastily, etc. I’ve always been involved with science studies and not arts so maybe I can blame my lack of understanding the English language, pertaining to that particular word, on that? 🤷♂️
ReplyDeletePs-I just realized the original posts were 10 years old so I guess I’ll keep fervishly searching for the answer.
