What the hell is a Grammar Anarchist?
You can be one! Since we don’t have a U.S. language, feel FREE to set your own rules -- interpret grammar YOUR WAY. You’re not in England anymore. Join the anarchy of U.S. grammar! Make your choices and preserve them in YOUR STYLE MANUAL. —The Grammar Anarchist

Hardly, Barely, Scarcely
Each of these words is a negative. Please do not use them with other negatives. He didn’t hardly have time to eat his dessert.
Improve that in either of two ways: He didn’t have time to eat his dessert. OR He hardly had time to eat his dessert.
