Grammar
Very awkwardly / very awkward
Hello,
I remember once I saw this sentence in a book: "he pronounces her name very awkward but charming."
I have forgotten the name of the book. I think the author had made a typo there. Because "awkward" is not and adverb to describe the "pronouncing" so it should had been "very awkwardly" not "very awkward".
Am I right?
thank you.
