I always inwardly chuckle when I hear my professor talk about Nietzsche's "posthumous notes"--I always imagine zombie!Nietzsche writing The Will to Power. Am I just being weird about a phrase which is standard throughout (the relevant species of) academia, or am I the sane one and I should use some clunklier phrase like "posthumously-published notes"?

But . . . it is an adverb. (Totally right about the hyphen, though. Bad Alixtii1)

Yeah, it's an adverb. It's just not acting as one, exclusively, in that phrase. Which doesn't change its nature, I suppose.
