Clarifyah

Respectively - in the order given

Respectfully - given marked or proper respect

Two very similar-sounding words, with wholly different meanings.

True story: When used incorrectly in a sentence, can create ire and consternation. :-)

On a side note, here are some of my favorite made-up words:

HA HA - NO!      RIGHT
Essentric               Eccentric

Supposably          Supposedly

Expecially             Especially

Febuary               February

Nuculer               Nuclear

Ruff                     Roof 

Acrossed            Across

Excetera             Et cetera

Buh'nn                Button

Mischivious        Mischievous
