Have you ever noticed how people start or pepper their conversations with these words and phrases? What does it mean for the person who is receiving the message?)
1. Apparently (so I'm an idiot and cannot see what is apparent?)
2. Actually (now i you're telling me the truth)
3. Honestly (so you've been cushioning me from reality)
4. Frankly speaking... (you mean you have been lying to me up till now?)
5. Don't mind me saying but... (what if I mind?)
6. I so... (so you is an American?)
Can you think of any others?
