adjectives not mistakenly used as adverbs?
Shouldn't 'leisurely'and 'nightly' both be tagged as adverbs too? "Leisurely we strolled to the lake" is a
how I
thought, and 'nightly'would be included as 'daily' and 'monthly' etc are. Is this so?

Re: adjectives not mistakenly used as adverbs?
It depends on the context:
[1]
Adjective:
a leisurely walk
=> Here 'leisurely' modifies the noun 'walk'
[2]
Adverb:
Leisurely we strolled to the lake.
=> Here 'leisurely' modifies the verb 'strolled'.
