Episode 112: Cook it Safe(ly) - Say it Correct(ly)

I am a home cook who enjoys proper grammar. There is an interesting USDA commercial that airs from time to time where two teams of cooks are attempting to cook a boxed chicken breast and make sure that it is cooked to the proper internal temperature. They are attempting to cook the chicken safely.

I have problems with the grammatically incorrect statement. I have problems them not explaining why it is important for the cooks to cook it properly. They also need to explain the importance of washing your hands and your utensils after coming into contact with raw meat.

The word that describes how you do something is the adverb. In this instance the adverb needs to end with "-ly."
