In your expert opinion, is "fanciest" a word? Is it correct to say fanciest or should it be most fancy? We've found conflicting answers. Thanks! Ok, I have a question.

I submit to you, however, that "funnily" is, indeed, a word. Funnily is the adverb form of the adjective "funny." Just as you can "do" something merrily, happily, oddly, strangely, haphazardly, suddenly, quickly, or disgustingly (you get the idea); so can you "do" something funnily.
