Should I make a post defining the different academia genres a little more clearly? There is an aesthetic wiki that does very well with this but it might be a bit more subjective and not as clear

[Descriptive words ranked]

Ranking emotion related words by level of energy and intensity !

A bit subjective and not a complete comprehensive guide, there are many more words not on the charts and you may feel the placements differently.

I hope you find this helpful for your writing!

Is there something you'd like to learn about? Requests are open!

Especially vs specially

[Especially vs specially]

The difference between the use of the two!

Especially:

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.

Specially:

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.
