That's it. No message. Well, other than the fact that the word 'anyways' really annoys me. And comma splices kind of bug me, too.

I know I've asked this before, but what's your favourite grammar gripe?

Doesn't the comma disambiguate that?

Meaningwise, for colloquial speech, perhaps, but not grammatically because "hopefully" is still an adverb. In that sentence, it can only modify the verb, meaning that it is not raining in a hopeful manner. What the speaker would mean is "I hope it doesn't rain."
