Aagh!
And every time I try to correct my DH on this, he thinks I'm wrong. Then again, he's from Texas and says NEW-Q-LER in stead of NEW-CLEAR
How can he think you're wrong? This is a very simple grammar rule. Adverbs, not adjectives, modify verbs. Run quickly. Sweep carefully. Walk slowly. Drive safely.
You've married a moron.

This is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put.
If you're making a joke, I don't know what you're laughing at. There's not much here to make fun of.

You ask for advice. Or you can say, "please advise me about this matter." You do not ask for advise. ADVISE IS A VERB!

That's a myth. My undergraduate degree is in the Classics (Latin/Greek) and this 'rule' about prepositions is based in the Latin rules of grammar. English isn't Latin. http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2011/11/grammar-myths-prepositions/

When to use "to" vs "too"
really!? I don't think this is an advanced grammar skill people. that said, MoCo schools no longer care if your children use proper grammar and/or spell correctly. So we are creating a larger society of grammar-idiots.
Back in MY day......
