Are you doing good or are you doing well???

I'm still hung up on this entirely, this is a mystery beyond mortal proportions, I don't know what to do help

I am well.
I am doing good when I fix something for someone to be nice.
I am good, arguably, in that I generally try to make the world a better place and not exploit people or things.
I am not *doing* well, what would that even mean?
I am not in a well.
I am not in a good, what would that even mean?
I am in a good mood.
There is no such thing as a well mood.

"Doing" is a verb. To modify it, you need an adverb. "Well" is an adverb, whereas "Good" is an adjective.

Although many people say "I am doing good," or, "My car runs good," those are ungrammatical.*

Which is all well and good.

* Unless they mean, "I am doing (a) good (deed)," in which case they're using a truncated sentence.

"Doing" is a transitive verb (or a funny onomatopoeia if you pronounce it the other way), so you also need a noun to go with it. "Good" can be a noun. So you can be doing good (but it's not what people mean when they say that). You can be doing your homework well, since then the adverb is applicable. But you can't be doing well, because just "doing" isn't a thing. "What are you up to?" "I'm doing."

Edit: And it can't even be just any noun, like well as a noun doesn't go there, though I suppose you could be "doing a well" if you're a perv.

Well can be a noun. So "doing well" is korrect. :agesilaus:

speaking of well, back in the flickr days I would take nice photos of peoples outfits and I would be constantly harassed by "wellies" fanatics, "kinky wellies", just boot lovers and boot lickers.

that time has passed and now wellies are good things to wear when beekeeping

I've seen some 1950s educational short subjects where they (correctly) say that a person "looks well," which means they're attractive (today we'd definitely say they "look good"). It's perfectly grammatical, but it sounds very strange to modern ears. Language is complex.

The language has changed and these are correct usage now. :colbert:

So is the word "thru". Having edited a book, I despise the old spelling. Seven letters for one syllable is awful. And un-hyphenatable.

Here's another one I find fascinating: "I" and "me" are no longer used as subjective and objective pronouns. They are now being used as formal and informal!

We're also in different countries.

Did you know that Australia was the last country to try English spelling reform? It wasn't a big reform, about the same scale as what Webster did in the US when we dropped a bunch of vowels from stuff like honour and mould. But the newspapers hated it, so it got rolled back.

That's probably the last big attempt we'll get. English is spoken in so many accents now that phonetic spelling is impossible.

English language nerds, I recommend this channel. Dr. Lindsey does a really good job of analyzing how English is actually spoken, as opposed to how people think it is or should be.

I think it's really funny when people cling to the way something used to be with words and language and refuse to acknowledge changes because they themselves are part of a continuum of the language changing. None of them I've met know how to speak REAL English i.e. Old English. Sitting here whinging about the real definition of "literally" but not pronouncing the k in knife? Fuggeddabouddit.

That's right!
I was just thinking about a scene from 40rock 30rock? Whatever that show was called.
A character says "I'm doing good" and another character snaps "no. Batman does good. You're doing well"

That was both a funny scene and a legitimate grammar lesson for me.
