Several more over-used words today: ACT, ARC, EEL, EPEE, LEA, ORO, SEE and STY.

"In a damp manner" was WETLY. I don't understand how something can be done "wetly" or "in a damp manner." "Wet" and "damp" are conditions, aren't they? I is confused.

The answer to "Gilligan's Island co-star" was ALANHALE. I don't think so. Alan Hale died in 1950 and the tv series ran from 1964 to 1967. The Gilligan actor was Alan Hale Jr. A very popular trivia question is "What was Gilligan's first name?" Series creator/writter Sherwood Schwartz gave Gilligan a first name but it was never used on the tv series. It was Willy.

I didn't like WETLY either, but I thought it possible to be used --- probably in a bad novel --- "She slithered out of the pool and kissed him wetly on the lips."  I have, by the way, copyrighted that line.
