uncharacteristically

Uncharacteristically.

  • It takes twenty letters to spell it out. 
  • Yes, it's a dreaded 'ly' word
  • It's an adjective and not entirely necessary
  • the thing takes up half the line of text
  • six more letters and it would be the alphabet long
  • It de-rails the reader like an atom bomb
And did I just use it in chapter 1 of my novel?
You bet-ya! 
And there it stays!
