It's my great pleasure to point out the misuse of the word "jealously" in your post. A grand and rare pleasure, as a matter
of fact.

The word "zealously" is the generally used adverb in that context.


I would expect it to be a great pleasure to encounter a mistake in any of my missives that wasn't purely typographical or dyslexic, as it's a rare occurence, given how zealous I am about correct use of the language, including punctuation.

But you'll have to seek that pleasure elsewhere, as I believe that either word would have been correct in that sentence, but "jealously" was the intended word, and the one that fully conveyed the intended message.

4.Vigilant in guarding something
5.Intolerant of disloyalty or infidelity; autocratic

Don't let it happen again or I shall trample your flower bed.
