The Difference

Hi everybody,

I tried to find the difference between "especially" and "specially". But I couldn �t

reach to a satisfying result. I hope that I can have the answer here.

Thanks in advance.

According to � Common Mistakes at Proficiency �by Julie Moore :

Especially means �particularly� and specially means �for a particular purpose�:

I love French cheese, especially Camambert.

a car specially designed for cities

Sometimes can be used interchangeably :

I made the cake specially/especially for you.

Hope it helps :-)
