Usage
Orally vs verbally
Would 'orraly' be OK in the phrase: "to disclose information orally", or I should rather use the word 'verbally' ("to disclose information verbally")?. In Polish 'orally' has rather blueish connotations, but this doesn't have to be the case in English, does it?
Thank you very much.
