Janis: apparently!
me: now, do you say that, "apparently" or "apparent-LEE?"
Janis: a-PAR-ently (I think that's what you were asking) um. ap-PEAR-antly (prununciation-wise) that's what I stress. Am i making any sense??
me: haha, i stress the LEE part. like, just then.
Janis: I stress the PAR part
me: not always. like if i am saying, "apparently she didn't want to eat poop", i would say it the normal way.
Janis: ap-PEAR-antly
me: but just then accentuating a point, would be apparent-LEE!
Janis: me too, well for the first bit. a normal statement, I would stress everything equally
me: me too
Janis: for sarcasm, I say "ap-PEAR-antly"
me: yeah!
Janis: doing it your way sounds weird. no offense, I can't do it right even when I try
me: oh, wait is that what i meant to say? oh, ok here is what it sounds like: a-PEAR-ent-LEE!
had to say it out loud to make it sound right.
Janis: no, still doesn't sound right. I tried it out loud. Maybe I need to hear you say it
me: haha are people around you looking at you oddly now?
Janis: yes but only a little, they're used to it
me: haha. no reaction on my end. no surprise
Janis: ahahah!
