alledgedly? Richard and Aljur

STARMOMETER scoops on the Richard-Aljur incident, but forgets correct spelling and right grammar.

1. "Right after the news came out about the alledgedly near-fight between Kapuso stars Richard Gutierrez and Aljur Abrenica at the Fiamma bar last October 17, Richard’s camp sent PEP a statement disproving the report."

a. drop the d and the ly - the correct term is alleged. The term near-fight acts as a NOUN, thus the word describing it should be an adjective (alleged), not an adverb (allegedly).

2. “Unfortunately, however, a star like Mr. Aljur Abrenica, an acquaintance, does not seem to understand that stars need space too, and barging in on our table unexpectedly, sitting down uninvited, and partaking of the drinks freely, does not speak well of a person’s social graces."

(quoted from Richard camp's text message to PEP)

For all the money he earns, Richard can't afford to hire a decent writer. In an attempt to create a compound-complex sentence, the writer loses perspective. The second independent clause uses gerund as subjects: barging in, sitting down and partaking of. Hence, the subject being plural, the verb should be DO not speak well....

Barging in means intruding rudely. To barge in unexpectedly is clearly redundant, because intrusion by its nature is always unexpected. You don't say to your mother, "Mom, we are expecting an intruder tonight, so please prepare."

Lastly, it is best to be consistent when using parallels: barging in UNEXPECTEDLY, sitting down UNINVITED (?) and partaking FREELY; two adverbs and one adjective - not consistent.
