Kosa la kawaida:
Learners often confuse "specially" and "especially". In this sense, "specially" means "for a special purpose" (e.g. "a chair specially designed for children"). Many style guides prefer "especially" for the meaning "particularly" (e.g. "I especially like jazz"), though in casual speech both are sometimes mixed. Another common error is using the adjective form *special* instead of the adverb: say "specially made", not "special made".

Learners often use "specially" in this meaning where many native speakers would prefer "especially" or "particularly", e.g. "I specially like this song" instead of the more natural "I especially like this song". In modern English, this 'particularly' meaning of "specially" is more common in British English and often appears in negative sentences ("not specially happy").
