In announcing the theme for this week's words, you said:
"Typically adverbs are recognized as words ending in -ly: partly, happily,
hopefully, really, virtually, and so on. But there are dozens of adverbs that
don't end in -ly. This week we'll look at five less familiar adverbs."
Shilly shally, however, does end in -ly. Of course, I'm being a pedant because I recognise this isn't your usual "tack -ly at the end of a word" kind of adverb. Or is it?
