It seems that things have been proceeding rather quietly down here lately, so I thought I'd offer the following word of the day for your consideration:
 
Docilely, adverb
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/docilely?qsrc=2446
doc·ile [dos-uhl; British doh-sahyl] Show IPA 
adjective
1. easily managed or handled; tractable: a docile horse. 
2. readily trained or taught; teachable.
 
Example sentences

I was thinking about getting all upset about the fact that you are promoting the use of adverbs, but I decided to wait and see what the Bapu does.
