I'd say you were in the right from a grammatical standpoint too - IMHO, the "ly" suffix is for adverbs, not adjectives.
(every time I post a reply, I have to restrain the urge to go on a tirade about how "Italic" is not a verb).
Amusingly enough it's usually the opposite transgression that I rant about (people who omit the "ly" suffix from adverbs - an action is performed quickLY, not "quick," damnit).
I guess "linguaphilia" and mild OCD aren't such a great combination after all
