Is "wrong" an adverb?

No, you are right. The topic is _not_ Geary's handwriting. It's his
over-all
sexuality (especially in the Toronto area, etc.).
Back to 'like me'.
I don't think we need a professional (or 'pro' as Geary calls them), since,
you've just agreed with Prof. Lye that experts don't know (many things).
A.A. Oh, boy. What a night. Exercised broads throwing themselves at me.
Now this. But, even though you quoted it wrong (Professor Lye said, "I think
of myself as a expert in every field but my own") you are right. He is
implying that he can't help us because he doesn't know his own field. Unless
his
field isn't grammar, in which case he would be an expert.
That's it. I'm outta here. After this, I really need a workout.

The original sentence was:
"Geary sends the letter to interested parties like I"
I think you are right it should have been "like me", since it's something
Geary sends to _people_ (objective case). It's not like "I like
strawberries"
where the people are the subject, etc.
Cheers,
JL
