'Plants can adapt quicker to climate change, new study shows' <----- "quicker" is essential as everything can adapt to climate change. BKCW8 talk 07:43, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Still, more quickly than what? (quicker is also, afaik, bad grammar- but I'm not a native speaker.) "Plants adapt more quickly to climate change than previously thought" would be clarification, but I don't know if that's appropriate title-wise. Sonia (talk) 07:46, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"quicker" than previously thought, but that is assumed I'd say BKCW8 talk 07:52, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How is "New study disproves assumptions that plants adapt slowly to climate change"? If the original structure is preferred, then I think that "quicker" should be replaced with "quickly", as the latter has a direct comparison with slowly, which can then be safely assumed to be the previous misconception, as opposed to alluding to some other unspecified rate of change with "quicker".

"quickly" works... but they haven't proved/disproved that plants (in general) adapt quickly...They can if they possess this particular abilityBKCW8 talk 08:18, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

True, quickly is rather subjective. Hmm. Since I've proven incapable, is there any other way to phrase it? Sonia (talk) 08:28, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What about Plants may adapt faster to climate change than previously thought, new study shows? Fast itself is an adverb. Long titles are allowed, as seen by an article of mine, Hong Kong Democratic Party stirs up universal suffrage reform package controversy. Kayau (talk · contribs) 09:26, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

THAT WORKS...oops sorry about caps lock....BKCW8 talk 09:50, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
