用法パターン：
exceptionally [adjective/adverb]
よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse 'exceptionally' with 'especially'. Use 'exceptionally' mainly before adjectives and adverbs to mean 'very, very much' (e.g., 'exceptionally good'). Use 'especially' to single out one thing from a group (e.g., 'I like all fruits, especially apples.') and more often in the middle of a clause.

|

対義語
moderately (Shows an average or medium degree, the opposite of the very high degree expressed by 'exceptionally'.)

|

as a special exception
In a special case that is not normal; as an exception to the usual rule.
用法パターン：
Exceptionally, [clause]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use this meaning when they only want to say 'very'. For example, 'Exceptionally, it was cold' is unclear if you mean 'very cold' (use 'exceptionally cold') or 'as an exception, it was cold' (use 'Exceptionally, it was cold' with a strong pause). For the 'exception' meaning, 'Exceptionally' often comes at the beginning of the sentence, followed by a comma.
類義語
as an exception (More explicit and slightly less formal; directly explains the idea that this case is not normal.)
|
unusually (Often overlaps, but focuses on being different from normal without clearly stating that a rule is being broken.)
対義語
normally (Shows that something follows the usual rule or practice, which is the opposite of a special exception.)
|
routinely (Emphasizes that an action is done as part of the regular procedure, not as a special case.)
