Domande riguardo a frasi esempio con, spiegazione d'utilizzo di "Peculiarly"s

A: peculiarly = peculiar, strange, odd, unexpected, different, unusual
"He spoke peculiarly." = "he spoke in a strange way / he had a strange way of speaking."

popularly = by most people, a lot of people do this, in general.
"The actor was popularly known by a nickname, because his birth name was harder to pronounce."

universally = universal, this is true for almost everyone/everything.
"Necessities like food and water are universally needed by everyone."

commonly = common, it is used a lot, a lot of people do this, it is found in most places, it is common to find this.
"Pasta is commonly sold in most grocery stores."

--

Several of these can have a similar meaning in some sentences. For example:

"This fact is popularly believed to be true." = most people like to believe this, it is a popular idea. (regardless if it is actually true)

"This fact is universally believed to be true." = everyone believes this. (people don't even question if it is true, they just assume that it is true. Regardless if it is actually true or not).

"This fact is commonly believed to be true." = this is a common belief, you will easily find a lot of people who believe this to be true (regardless if it is true or not).

The differences between these are subtle. An idea can be popularly known (a lot of people are familiar with it) even if it is not commonly accepted (most people don't actually believe this). Or an idea can be common (it is easy to find people who believe this) but it is not universal (because there are also a lot of people who don't believe this.) Or an idea can be universal (everyone believes this) but not popular (people hate the idea and don't like to talk about it). Just to give some examples. So they are similar concepts, but they are not always the same.
