多用于褒义表示‘杰出的’，但在某些固定搭配中（如exceptional child）表示‘智力障碍的’，需根据语境判断。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
Words in '-ional' like 'additional', 'traditional', 'professional' share the suffix but differ in stressed vowels and consonant clusters (/ə/ vs /ɛ/ and /fɛʃ/ vs /pʃ/). 'Perception' and 'exception' share the /sɛpʃ/ sound but end in -ion. 'Excellent' begins with 'ex-' but has a different vowel and stress. None rhyme perfectly with 'exceptional'.
