"Naah. If that were true, you would have hyphenated anal-retentive. ;-)"
All MY friends of the "AR" persuasion (who disdain the slovenly,
American press-begotten reliance on hyphenated adjectives in lieu of
adverbs) prefer to be referred to by the grammarially superior -anally-
retentive.
Oh yeah, I say "TEKWUHR ELL" and leave hordes of blank pages if I need
to, so every chapter begins on an odd numbered page.
But I've never been accused of retaining -anything-.
