WORD OF THE DAY:

boisterous - wild and noisy

The dressing room atmosphere became boisterous with the arrival of the
team manager.

WRONG TO CORRECT:

WRONG: I don't understand how she could treat him so bad.

CORRECT: I don't understand how she could treat him so badly.

GRAMMAR: When we want to say "how", we normally use an adverb. Most
adverbs end in "ly".
