Adjective vs adverb
Agressive is an adjective, which is correct. Aggressively would compliment the verb, which in this sentence, is not correct. You're right - they're wrong.
i am on verb acct,
and there are very very few reports that actually go out word-for-word verbatim. I do keep it as close as possible within reason and common sense.
Yes, but as a verb...so still wrong.

Affected my paycheck - a verb

Yikes! You ~do~ know that "oriented" isn't a verb, right? nm

That wasnt very helpful..she is confused by verb, noun, and adj. as far as how to tell
which is which. I think the "a" in front is more helpful.
When transcribing "command" or "imperative" form, use verb form or "follow up"
For a long time I would become confused by "discharge instructions" type followup/follow up usage ...
Yes, the patient was to follow up with his doctor ... but was also to make a follow up appointment ...
In my experience, certainly your QA may vary and/or be inconsistent all-on-its-own ... but most of these truncated forms, fit into what I was taught was called "imperative case" and follow up is being used as a VERB ...
[[[ even though there is a reasonable argument to be made that "followup with primary care physician in 2 weeks" refers to an "appointment" which is a noun. ]]]
You can figure out the prevailing "rule of thumb" for your QA ...
Not having to think it through --- priceless.
Followup (or follow-up) for noun/adj. Follow up for verb. nm
