    Though actually, in very casual speech some people drop the -ly (“they treated him lenient”), but careful English keeps it: treated leniently. The word still lives in schools, courts, and work — anywhere a rule could have been harder and was not. It can sound fair, or it can sound like someone got off too lightly; the sentence around it decides.
