Why do we say: 'it is necessary that you be'?

[Barb_D]

Is "timely advised" a BrE expression? In the US, you'd say "advised of this situation in a timely manner."

[rj1948]

It is necessary that you be timely advised of the situation.-correct.

I have never seen 'timely' used as an adverb in this way, only ever as an adjective. Of Oxford, Cambridge, American Heritage and a couple of others, there is only one dictionary that gives a listing as an adverb, and that's Merriam-Webster.

To this British ear, it sounds most odd.
I'd agree with Barb_D :
"...advised of this situation in a timely manner."

Hold on.
From my point of view (and possibly Bard_D's,) YOU HAD ANSWERED THAT IN YOUR POST. There was no "I think..." or doubt expressed as to your choice. If your choice had been wrong, Barb_D or myself would have put in our penny's worth.

Barb-D pointed out that the sentence still sounded odd; and I agreed.
