Why can't cutely be a word?
"Prettily" is.

You followed "the rules" for adverb formation from an adjective.
It's your language--you can build parts.

Good! Then cutely it is! I like the word, and my husband the english
major and disgustingly wonderful writer agrees with you that it is a
perfectly good construction. Thank you Sandra!

I think I missed something, but why isn't cutely a word? It's in the
