[issue41259] Find adverbs is not correct on the documentation

[Rim Chatti]

Rim Chatti <chattiriim at gmail.com> added the comment:

re.findall(r"\w+ly", text) does not find all adverbs in a sentence, it finds words that contain ly (not ending with ly) :
if text= 'andlying clearly', output: [andly, clearly]
which is wrong! 
the right way to do this is re.findall(r'\b\w+ly\b',text)
output= clearly!
