1) He is disgustingly happily married.
2) He is disgustingly, happily married.
3) He is, disgustingly, happily married.
Is there a difference in the meanings of these sentences?
I think in '1' he is married happily in a disgusting way. It would be possible to be happily married in a non-disgusting way.
In '2', he is married disgustingly and happily.
'3' would mean that the fact that he is happily married is disgusting.
So in '2' the two things are separate.
Would you agree with that?
And are native speakers really careful about such matters?
Gratefully,
