Momentarily is widely used in speech to mean 'in a moment,' as in The manager is on another line, but she'll be with you momentarily. This usage rarely leads to ambiguity since the intended sense can usually be determined on the basis of the tense of the verb and the context. Nonetheless, many critics hold that the adverb should be reserved for the senses 'for a moment,' and the extended usage is unacceptable to 59 percent of the Usage Panel.

The 21-Word Review: Atlantis Found by Clive Cussler


It’s hard to criticize a book that the author clearly enjoyed writing. Not logical or realistic, but a fun time waster.
