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?
I caught that too, shilLY/shalLY. But you posted it first, way to go !
And welcome to the site. Hope you post often. Happy New Year.
