M adverb pet peeves are:

1. Using importantly instead of important - as in, “most important...” In this case “important is an adjective modifying the noun, not modifying the verb.

2. Adding ‘ly’ to a counting list - as in, Firstly, Secondly, etc.

Bit of a grammar nazi, I know, but I paid attention in English class.

RE: Using importantly instead of important - as in, “most important...”

How about BIGLY? Is that even a word before Trump ran for President?

Funny, my pet peeve is leaving off the "ly" on adverbs, as in, "he ran quick."

Importantly in this case is an adverb modifying the sentence and is serving as a kind of interjection like watch out. Used properly it is good writing because it emphasizes that the point in the indicated sentence must be understood to understand what is being talked about.

Firstly, I’m guilty and forever hard wired to point #2.

Secondly, I can still barely work out the whole “whom/whomever” vs “who/whoever” distinction. I think there was a Freeper, ten years ago, who rightfully ripped me apart on that one.
