Why is using the word "gewöhnlich" wrong? Doesn't it mean "usually"? Doesn't "normalerweise" means "normally"?

This is exactly the question that i wanted to ask -- I find that I'm constantly being marked wrong for using one vs. the other, but I don't understand the functional distinction.
Why "veil" and not "veilen"? Is it because "milk" and "sugar" are non-count nouns? I've searched around for such a rule but haven't found one.

What defines the location of normalerweise in a sentence? Why is it wrong to put it in the beginning?

"Gewöhnlich, ich trinke meinen Kaffee mit viel Milch und Zucker." was marked wrong. Anyone know why?
It's a wrong word order. If you start your sentence with "gewöhnlich" (the adverb), you should put the verb in the second place after the adverb. You shouldn't also insert the comma.
Gewöhnlich trinke ich meinen Kaffee mit viel Milch und Zucker.

Duo wants to make "usually = gewöhnlich" and "normally = normalerweise" synonyms, but they are not!
It gave me a different translation Meist trinke ich meinen Kaffee mit viel Milch und Zucker.
I said Ich trinke normalerweise meinen Kaffee mit veil Milch und Zucker misspelled viel, but otherwise ????

Here " normalaweise" comes after the word "kaffee" as the verb - trinke takes the position 2...
I began the sentence with "Normalerweise" but it's considered incorrect. Any idea why?
