The females and immature birds are often mistaken for their slightly smaller cousins the drab-coated plovers. but may be distinguished by their distictive cry of "keen-wit, kee-keen-wit".

It depends on whether one wants the state (adjective) or the manner (adverb). Either would work.

AS:
What posts do your two refer to?
jheem:
There is a fine book called Heavens to Betsy: and Other Curious Sayings by Charles Earle Funk, editor-in-chief of Funk & Wagnell's Standard Dictionary Series.
lysdexia:
Wagnall's
TEd:
Unless someone reading this knows different?
How many among you would write:
Unless someone reading this knows differently?
lysdexia:

I see that I never weighed in on the different/differently question. I would say that, unless the manner in which one was thinking was different that different should be taken as an adjectival noun and could be read as an ellision of Unless someone reading this knows something different.

could be read as an ellision of Unless someone reading this knows something..
or
could be read as an elision of Unless someone reading this knows something..
I think I would write the latter unless my referent was philologist Alexander J. Ellis's extremely stultifying, but trite, review of Unless someone reading this knows something...

Here's a thought from a site called Tacky Lumberjack Art:
"Forgotten Beatitude: Blessed is Betsy Murgatroyd, for she will inherit the heavens."
