  • Although "lately" and "recently" are nearly synonyms, they are different in way they are used.

    If an action is habitual or repetitive, either word is fine; in that case, "lately" and "recently" can be used interchangeably:

    "Crimes against women have increased by 32% lately/recently."

    "Lately/Recently, there has been a spike in people's interest in the Oxford comma."

    But for unique actions, use "recently" instead of "lately" (The latter sounds awkward).

    "My cousin had a baby recently." (Right)

    "My cousin had a baby lately." (Wrong)
