yes. BTW, Facetious: Hopefully is a word, but it's usually used incorrectly. you can wish hopefully upon a star. But you wouldn't say "hopefully, our teacher won't give us homework" -this means that hopeful is describing how (not whether) the teacher assigns homework.

um... people use it all the time, but probably not. Just like "hopefully" isn't a word.... I could be wrong though.
