Adverbial good has been under attack from the schoolroom since the 19th century. Insistence on well rather than good has resulted in a split in connotation: well is standard, neutral, and colorless, while good is emotionally charged and emphatic. This makes good the adverb of choice in sports. "I'm seeing the ball real good" is what you hear — In such contexts as listen up. And listen good — lets fly with his tomatoes before they can flee. He gets Clarence good — good cannot be adequately replaced by well. Adverbial good is primarily a spoken form; in writing it occurs in reported and fictional speech and in generally familiar or informal contexts. well 4 of 5interjection1 —used to indicate resumption of discourse or to introduce a remark they are, well, not quite what you'd expect 2 —used to express surprise or expostulation well, what have we here? well 5 of 5adjective1 a : prosperous, well-off b : being in satisfactory condition or circumstances 2 : being in good standing or favor 3 : satisfactory, pleasing all's well that ends well 4 : advisable, desirable it might be well for you to leave 5 a : free or recovered from infirmity or disease : healthy he's not a well man b : completely cured or healed the wound is nearly well 6 : pleasing or satisfactory in appearance our garden looks well— 7 : being a cause for thankfulness : fortunate it is well that this has happened 8 of liquor : used for making mixed drinks when no branded alcohol is specified also : made with well liquor a well drink
An old notion that it is wrong to say "I feel good" in reference to health still occasionally appears in print. The origins of this notion are obscure, but they seem to combine someone's idea that good should be reserved to describe virtue and uncertainty about whether an adverb or an adjective should follow feel. Today nearly everyone agrees that both good and well can be predicate adjectives after feel. Both are used to express good health, but good may connote good spirits in addition to good health. as well phrase1 as in then in addition to what has been said I'd love to come to the party, but can my friend come as well?
