00I'm wondering if "dress warmly" always means "dress with warm gratitude". OED defines "warmly" as its first definition that it means "so as to be warm"; just the same as the adverb "warm". 02br

00I googled "dressed warmly" and "dressed warm" and the result is: 7240 hits for the former and 707 hits for the latter. Do you think s

00I'm amazed at your Google results. 02br

00The first example sentence given in the entry "warmly" in my E-J dictionary is "Dress warmly. It's cold outside". I guess this kind of phrase must be almost always alien to the place you are living. But which one do your people (Californians) say, "dress coolly" or "dress cool"? 02br

02br
00Grammatically, "dress"(used in this expression) is a verb, so "warm" and "warmly" cannot be adjectives but adverbs. 02br
00If you were to ask the question, "How should I dress in this cold weather?", the answer(to me, anyway) would be:- 02br
02br
00a) "You should be WARMLY DRESSED" 02br

0 Paco, 02br
02br
00On the contrary, December and January can be months when we sometimes need to dress warm(ly)! 02br
02br
00I've never heard "Dress cool" or "Dress coolly". Maybe "Dress in light clothes", "Wear light clothes". 02br

0 Hi, 02br
00In my version of BrE and Canadian English, most educated people would say 'dress warmly'. 02br
02br
00Can we not perhaps think of it as meaning 'as you put on layer after layer, you are getting warmer', so that the adverb just modifies the verb in a straightforward way? 02br

02br
00"Don't act STUPID/DUMB!" 02br
00-------Is "STUPID/DUMB" an adjective or an adverb? 02br
02br
00To me, 02br
02br
00a) if "Don't act stupid!" means "Don't act STUPIDLY!", then "stupid" is an adverb. 02br
02br
00b) if "
