[Especially vs specially]
The difference between the use of the two!
Meaning: to be particular / particularly or above all.
Use: to place emphasis on a subject and highlight that subject's importance above others.
Example: "How can she complain? Especially when she does it herself!" = "Above all that, she also does those things she complains about!" / "She particularly does those things too!", placing emphasis on ones hypocrisy as worse than other subjects about them.
Meaning: for a specific purpose or to be tailored/custom made to suit someone or something specific.
Use: specific purposes or a particular reason. Being specific about details but not the same as placing emphasis on them.
Example: "The gift was specially picked out for her Sweet Sixteenth." = "The gift was specifically for the purpose of celebrating her Sweet Sixteenth." Pointing out the subject's specific purpose.
Bonus! - Particular vs Specific
Particular: singling something out / pointing out uniqueness, being fastidious about taste or interest as in hard to please or high standard. Distinctive, individual, "picked out" or fussy.
Specific: to be precise, exact or detailed, defining with purpose and clarity. Fitting a requirement, not being vague, or being technical.
