מתי להשתמש

Use the adverb detector when editing fiction, marketing copy, or any writing where pace and vividness matter. Hemingway-style guidance targets adverb rates under 4%; tight ad copy often goes below 2%.

השוואה

Adverb detection is a stylistic metric, like passive voice — it surfaces patterns rather than scoring difficulty. Use alongside the Filler-Word Detector for a fuller weak-prose audit.

איך זה עובד

The detector flags every -ly word in the text, excluding a stoplist of -ly words that aren't adverbs (family, lovely, jelly, etc.).

Adverb rate is the percentage of words that are adverbs. Hemingway-style writing keeps the rate below 4%; tight ad copy often stays under 2%.

Strict mode adds a check that the word has an adjective stem — fewer false positives but may miss neologisms.

שאלות נפוצות

Why are adverbs considered weak writing?

Stephen King's rule: "The road to hell is paved with adverbs." They're a sign you chose a weak verb that needed propping up. "Ran quickly" → "sprinted".

What about non-adverb -ly words?

Family, lovely, jelly, etc. — these are excluded from the count. Enable strict mode for tighter detection at the risk of missing neologisms.

What's a good adverb rate?

Under 4% for tight prose. Under 2% for ad copy. Some genres (literary fiction) tolerate higher rates by design.

דוגמה מעשית

קלט

"She quickly opened the door and softly whispered her name."

פלט

2 adverbs in 9 words (22% adverb rate) — heavy.

"Quickly" and "softly" both weaken stronger verb choices. "She flung the door open and whispered her name" reads tighter and more vivid.

מלכודות נפוצות

  • Many -ly words aren't adverbs (family, lovely, jelly) — strict mode helps but isn't foolproof.
  • Some adverbs are essential ("quickly noted", "rapidly evolving") — don't cut them mechanically.
  • Manner adverbs paired with weak verbs are the prime targets; sentence adverbs ("however", "additionally") often stay.
  • Dialogue tags ("she whispered softly") are common offenders — "she whispered" usually suffices.
