Hi everyone. I've seen in some SC posts that some people say that "hopefully" is not accepted in the GMAT world.
Can any of you provide the source? I have not seen it in MGMAT, OG or Kaplan so far. Can you also provide the explanation? I know that hopefully is very common coloquially, and wanted to know just out of curiosity why is not correct in the GMAT.
Thank you all for your help.

"Hopefully I am going to do well on the GMAT." This is incorrect English. We use it to try to convey that we hope we will do well. Instead it conveys that I will be hopeful while doing well on the GMAT. It is therefore largely discouraged.
It is okay to say, "Mother, may I come to Florida with you? he asked hopefully." (Interior quotes not used) This conveys properly that he is hopeful that his mother will say yes and has no confusion. I have not seen any practice questions that dealt with this expression.
Hope that helps. As always if I was helpful please give kudos.
Thanks
