I've been a little bothered when writing certain words in a story how come when you actually spell the words right,it comes back and says it's spelt wrong or a mistake in them I'll give you a few examples of what I'm talking about. example 1, drasticly horrifiedly example 2. frustratedly, Would i be able to use those words In a story?, I'm sure some can understand there meanings if would any story moderators accept those words in story??
I think you're thinking of horrifyingly, but that doesn't have the same sense as what you are trying to convey.
If I were you, I would write, 'Karly gasped with horror.'
Hope that's helpful

Any standard dictionary will give the correct English extensions to words. For instance take the word "horrify", the dictionary will give the following= horrification, horrified, horrifiedly, horrifying and horrifyingly. These are the only true English extensions to the word "horrify" We are changing a verb into an adverb. Horrific becomes horrifically. You will find all these acceptable words in the dictionary. If it is not in the dictionary it is not English, I,m getting a red line under "horrifiedly". Sorry the word is perfectly good English
