Confused with 'implicitly', which means something is suggested but not stated outright., Using it in informal speech where simpler words would suffice., Misplacing it in the sentence, leading to unclear meaning.
Notes d'usage	Use 'clearly' to emphasize that something is understandable or obvious. It is appropriate in both spoken and written contexts, but may seem overly formal in casual conversations.	Use 'explicitly' when you want to emphasize that something is clearly stated, especially in formal contexts. Avoid in casual conversations.
