Hi, everyone:


Could you please tell me if the two are the same thing? I found there're also quite a few results of "take it personal", but much less than "take it personally".

Best wishes.
 
    • However, don't English native speakers very often use the grammatically incorrect adjective instead of the adverb? This seems to be my general impression which leads to a big confusion with my correct use of both forms.
     
    Yes, for english learners, a gramatic mistake is more likely to be pointed out by a native speaker out of a good intention.

    A fair number of people will say "take it personal", but I think many more people say, "take it personally", since it is correct.

    Some do but I don't think that native English-speakers "very often" do so. A quick "Google" of the two phrases shows a vastly greater number of "take it personally".

    This is such a glaring error that I would likely point it out to anyone (and hope that they don't take it personally).:)
