JT,

There's no doubt that your politeness is well known and highly regarded!

Forgive my 'picky' attitude, but 'hopefully' is so much misused these days that it has all but lost its correct meaning. It doesn't mean 'I hope that...', but does describe that which is done in a hopeful manner. Thus, someone travelling to a second job interview might do so 'hopefully', but would be wrong to say 'Hopefully, I will get the job'.

'Thankfully' suffers the same trouble, alas!
