I’m with Brian here – it feels wrong that it’s not “official”.

It's only a nit, but not one that is detected automatically. But,

despite the fact that it's only a part-of-speech error, it feels

wrong to me that it's not "official". I wouldn't exclude that a

picky lawyer could, well, pick on it.



We don't, fortunately, have a plague of "OPTIONALLY", although

lower case "optionally" is common.
