Awesome book, great all-around update of the VAH, but... what's with all the "feeling badly" grammatical errors?
When you feel a certain FEELING you use an adjective, not an adverb. You don't "feel intelligently" or "feel happily," right? So "feeling badly" means you're being uncoordinated. If you're talking about emotions, it's feel BAD. As in, "I feel bad about making this annoying post, but the repeated errors drove me crazy."

I'm not alone! I can't stand that kind of mistake.
It's an over-correction, similar to saying "I enjoy conversating with you," instead of the correct "I enjoy conversing with you." Other examples are "irregardless" instead of "regardless" or "May you please pass the salt?" instead of "Will you please pass the salt?"
In attempting to be correct, the person over-extends himself and looks more irridiculous.
