"I HATE the confusion of good/well.
I'm not even sure what the exact rule is.
But I hate it when someone says something like "I heard that he did real good".

Ok... "Good" is an adjective. It is used to modify nouns, such as "I am good" in which case "Good" is modifying the noun "I".

"Well" is an adverb, used to modify a verb. An example of this would be "I am doing well" in which case "well" is modifying the verb "to do."
