I suppose well is common enough that it’s become naturally integrated and I don’t notice it. seldom is much rarer so hasn’t hit that saturation point where I stop noticing it. And it just feels more egregious when you can say rarely instead, a much more common word.
Idk, I know it’s a perfectly cromulent word but it just sounds wrong to me.
So do you say “goodly” instead of “well”?
