I can’t understand this sentence, someone can help me, please?!
There’s no doubt about it if you compile, as I do, dictionaries of slang for a living, ONE IS DRAWN INEVITABLY NOT ALAS TO THE GREAT CLASSICS, who are on the whole rather light on slang, but to someone like this fellow who has this amazing ability… I have no idea what the man means by this sentence, especially that part with capitals isn’t clear at all. I understand every single word but not the whole concept.

Adverb of “wrong”
I was helping my sister with her homework and stumbled upon a definition which stated that the adjective “wrong”, when in its’ adverb form is also “wrong” and not “wrongly”. Is this an exception to the rule (like the word “well”) or is the book wrong? Ps: I know u can use “wrongly” in a sentence, like: she was wrongly accused. But u can also use “wrong” as an adverb in this kind of sentence: don’t get me wrong. So which one of these forms is the correct one? I’m also sending a pic of my sister’s book.
