Re:Re:Eat healthy or eat healthily
Hi, Young. It really should be "eat healthfully". "Healthily" isn´t a word. If one wants to use the adjective "healthy" one could say "healthy eating".
But why does the book say "eat healthy", then? Is it just a blatant error?, you ask.
What´s going on here is this book is speaking pop English. There are a lot of deviations from proper grammatical form in the commercial world. "Eat healthy" isn't even colloquial English. It's commercial/pop English. It's like advertisements that say things like "Got milk?" (as opposed to the proper: "Have you got milk?" or "Do you have milk?" or to the colloquial "You got milk?") or "Think coffee." (which is as opposed to the proper: "Think about coffee."). It's the English language revised to be short, concise and commanding-- the language of advertising.

Re:Eat healthy or eat healthily
Eat health or eat healthily?? i think we should use adverb 'healthily' to modify the verb 'eat'; but from a book i see it reads you should eat healthy!which is right?
