You'll hate me for this, but look what I found on the concordancer :

It was said, you know, rather loosely and friendlily as I often say many things.

Which just goes to show how the language system is just a vehicle for expressing meaning, and it's then up to the individual to decide what meaning s/he wants to express.

I can totally see being forced into making 'friendlily'. it happens all the time. Well not all the time, but sometimes you're forced to make those strange words because of ealier choices.

Shouldn't we replace friendlily and livelily with 'in a friendly way' and 'in a lively way'?
