Sadly, hopefully
A couple of posts ago I began a sentence with "Sadly, I hear . . .." Like similar sentences that start with "hopefully," this seemingly incorrect use of an adverb is not going away. I won't say it's correct, but hopefully, people will stop arguing about it.

If you were sad when you heard it, I see no error.
