Assunto: | preferably or preferentially? |
Mensagem: |
It is my understanding that preferable refers to the desirability of one thing/person/action over another, but preferential refers to special privieges or decisions given to one thing/person/action over another. I see beer as preferable to cachaça. If I were buying liquor, I would give preference to beer. Does that make sense to you? |
