To GG:

I've been in the communications field just about (=almost) my entire professionallife. I write for a living. My nickname was poorly chosen - I reallydon't that much about grammar, but I really do know what reads well.And I make a lot of typos.

Is ''just about my entire professional life'' an adverb clause/phrase?

I couldn't understand the sentence ''I really don't that much about grammar''. I could have written it ''I'm really not that much about grammar''.

 I guess it's:

 I really don't know that much about grammar

And yes, that sounds adverbial.

Is it adverbial phrase or clause?
