Posting on the sly

Grammar is fun! To convert an adverb to a noun, add the prepositional phrase "On the..." and insert the original word. Example "Cheaply" becomes "On the cheap"


Of course, the opposite does not always hold true. You can't substitute "I'm riding Busly" for "Riding on the bus."


Well...why not? I propose we all spend the week replacing prepositional phrases starting with "on the" with simply the adverb form of the object of the preposition.


You ended that sentence with three consecutive prepositional phrases.


Not the point. So, the rest of the week everybody...it's up to you to work "on the quick" or be "on the busy." It'll be fun!


Or post a blag "on the crappy."


That's the spirit!
