Hi

I would like to know if you have ever seen the word upsetly! Are there some other adjectives which do not accept ly at the end? Could you please give me a few examples?

This is the first time I have seen it. Ms Google subsequently found it for me 41 times-- mostly at non-native websites.

I am sure there must be a plethora of other adjectives that do not live happily with a terminal -ly: Japanesely, tallly, smally, bestly, leatherly, , etc.
