Using Awful as an Adjective and Adverb: Usage Guide
Some grammarians take issue with the senses of awful and awfully that do not convey the etymological connection with awe. However, senses 1 and 2 of the adjective were being used in speech and casual writing by the late 18th century.
It is an awful while since you have heard from me … 
John Keats (letter)
John Keats (letter) There was an awful crowd … Sir Walter Scott (letter)
Sir Walter Scott (letter) This is an awful thing to say to Oil Painters … William Blake
William Blake Adverbial use of awful as an intensifier began to appear in print in the early 19th century, as did the senses of awfully corresponding to senses 1 and 2 of the adjective. Awfully continues to enjoy widespread use in newspapers and the like.
It is worth remembering that the vote in the Senate about the Gulf War was an awfully close 53 to 47 … James P. Rubin
James P. Rubin "Let the good times roll" can be an awfully alluring philosophy … Rod Dreher
Rod Dreher The adverb awful, on the other hand, is largely restricted to informal prose and to the spoken language it emulates and is chiefly an American use.
I tell them that seven years is an awful long time. Kenneth Feinberg
Kenneth Feinberg Awful quiet out there, I thought. Disquietingly quiet. Mike Sutter
Mike Sutter "There are some awful good golfers playing in the tournament this week," observed Cook. George Geise
