I usually play good. Last time, though, I played chaotic neutral. ---

Maybe he meant that he played the role of being morally upright. ---

I think different. He played gooder than good. He came up huge when that pitcher was on his game. Who woulda thunk it? Seriously, I have had this argument with several people regarding sports commentary and apple posters. Using adjectives as adverbs is common enough at this point to just say, it’s now part of the language, don’t feel bad about it anymore. Hell, Dickens did it, so why can’t I? ---

Try hearing that sort of thing every other day. My history permanent substitute always speaks like this. For example, she told us that we had to take something “serious.” ---
