1. "I rate him highly."
2. "I rate him high."
What is the difference between the two sentneces ?
My idea is that in sentence #1 "rate" means "to estimate" or "to evaluate" and in the secong sentence "rate" means "to rank" and hence "I rate him high" means that I rank him high in a certain list .
2. "I rate him high."
