Veronica... It seems to me that some of the previous answers sound like people are talking after they're dead. :) For example, "the comment was made posthumously by the journalist" --> this implies that the journalist was dead and then made a comment. Another example, "the young man spoke posthumously" --> implies that the young man spoke after he was dead. Am I missing something here?
The young girl’s colloquial diary was published posthumously.
Kelly: You're correct--the sense is sometimes a little awkward, but sometimes you can look at a sentence again and see that it could be looked at more than one way. It's usually best to add extra words to avoid this type of ambiguity. Your own sentence does that well.
