I am not usually a pedant

But, I am getting more and more concerned that people cannot seem to tell the difference between these two words:
pacifically
adv : in a peaceable manner; "the tenant paying the rent hereby reserved and performing the several covenants herein on his part contained shall peaceably hold and enjoy the demised premises" [syn: peaceably]

specifically
adv : in distinction from others; "a program specifically for teenagers"; "he is interested specifically in poisonous snakes" [ant: generally]
Thank you, that is all I wanted to say.
