turn out right or turn out rightly

StartFragment>

Another grammar question.

Recognize that only when you make the right changes to your thinking, other things begin to turn out [right/ rightly] in your life.

They say the answer is 'right,' not 'rightly.'

‣The Only Thing that Counts: The Ernest Hemingway/Maxwell

Twenty-two years of correspondence between Ernest Hemingway and his editor, Maxwell Perkins, are covered in a volume...

"Dear Ernest;

...If he will only begin to dramatize himself as the man who came back now, everything may turn out rightly.

 

I thinks 'right' and 'rightly' both should be right, even if 'right' is dominant.

What do you think?

I think because "rightly" is an adverb it describes the process of "turning out," while "right" as an adjective describes the product.  I guess the same could be said of "correct" and "correctly."  A thing turns out [to be] correct.  (We need the "to be"???)  "A thing turns out correctly," is more common.

Anyway, I agree that both right and rightly are useful.

  - A.

1. Things turn out right.
2. ?Things turn out rightly.

#2 would sound a little odd, in BrE; though it may well occur in other kinds of English.

In #1, I would take "turn out" as a linking verb; "right" as a subject complement.
