Grammar
Especially or specially
I recently found out there are two words derived from special and especial (couldn't understand the difference between these two); we have "especially" with the meaning of "particularly"; and "specially" with the meaning of "for a particular purpose". I don't ever feel like using especial (as for some reason is uncommon), but I wanted to ask about the other two. Is it more common to use one more than the other?
