rated it highly or rated it high ?
Which one is correct ?
1> Company isn't rated highly
2> Company isn't rated high
According to dictionary, highly is adverb.. What we need here is adjective in the end ,correct ? So 2 is correct and 1 is wrong ?
Please guide. thanks in advance. - Sharad.

- My dictionary (OED) says "rate something high" and "rate something highly" are both correct with no difference in the meaning.
- But interesting is that we can't say "rate something lowly".
