Greșeală frecventă:
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.

Greșeală frecventă:
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.
