“The road to hell is paved with adverbs”
— Stephen King

Simplified Meaning:
Using too many adverbs when writing or speaking can make language less clear or strong. Adverbs are words that describe actions, like "quickly" in "run quickly." While they can be useful, relying on them too much can make your message weak or confusing. For example, instead of saying "He walked slowly," it's stronger to say "He strolled" or "He crept," as these words give a clearer picture. In real life, focusing on clear and specific language helps people understand you better and makes your communication more powerful. So, try to choose precise words instead of adding lots of adverbs.
