I would have giddily made an obscure nerd reference:

"The pristinely ungifted can only be indirectly harmed by magic."

Why am I not on these shows? I could have made, maybe, 5 other people in the world happy with that reference.

More than five, I suspect.
Then again, I have to wonder how many people stopped reading after the 'chicken is not a chicken' thing.

How does one carry oneself "pristinely?" It may be an adverb but I don't see how it applies to walking. Does that mean walking in a perfect and unblemished way? What exactly is it supposed to fucking mean?

(I typed this pristinely)

You know, when I was five, I thought my bike had been stolen, so I wrote up flyers to put around my neighborhood. I wanted to accurately describe my bicycle so I put down "goes fast!" but I had forgotten how to spell "goes" so I put "go's". My bike go is fast.

Anyways, what I wanted to say is that it happens to the best of us. ...when we're FIVE.

I think her usage was fine. "pristinely" is an adverb, modifying "carried". You can carry yourself sadly, happily, slowly, quickly, or pristinely.

The syntax of the sentence may have been correct but it's semantically that she's incorrect. It doesn't make sense to say "I carried myself spotlessly" or "I breathed underhandedly."
