I hope the Russian troll that introduced “sadly” into online discourse is still enjoying its cheap-vodka bonus. What propaganda genius! “Sadly” immediately deflates outrage and anger and instills hopelessness in both the writer of the word and all those who read it. Again: genius!

I have a Friend whose daughter starts everything with "sadly" I'm like your using it wrong!!!! "Unfortunately" would be the right word in this case.

I’m sorry I’m Haitian and I always say sadly. I’m far from being a Russian troll.
