What is the differnce between

Especially and particularly

Home and house

Precision and Percent

[Jamie (K)]

"Especially" and "particularly" are sometimes used interchangeably, but "particularly" often means something like "specifically", which "especially" can never mean.

A house is an building for people to live in. However, a house might be empty. It's just a structure.
A home is a house or any place where someone has done a lot of living. His roots are there, his memories are there, and probably the people he loves are there. A home doesn't have to be a house. It could also be a city or a country. When someone has been abroad for a long time, and the airplane lands in his own country, he may say, "Ah! I'm finally home!" I have two countries that I think of as home. I was born and live in one of them, but I know the other country very well, and my heart is in both places.

"Precision" means exactness. "Percent" means 1/100.

Thank you Mr. jamie for your answer.

Can I say : I live in a home outside my country .?

Why do we say America is my homeland not houseland?

[Jamie (K)]

"I live in a home outside my country .?" has a few problems.

One is that you can't use a period before a question mark. The second is that you can't put a space before punctuation. The third is that I'm not sure what the sentence is supposed to mean. Tell me what you want it to mean, and I can tell you what to say.

We cannot say, "America is my houseland," because a house is a building, and America is not a building.

I appreciate your help Mr. Jamie.
I meant if I travelled to America and lived in an apartement,I call it home or house.
