1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,319
Speaker 1: Those old saints, phrases, idioms, You know, those things your

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:05,759
family and friends would say that usually came out of nowhere,

3
00:00:05,839 --> 00:00:08,679
and only sometimes they actually made sense. Well, they had

4
00:00:08,679 --> 00:00:11,599
to start somewhere, right, Who, what, where, why, when? And how?

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,359
Some of those old saints are not only ancient but

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,640
still carry a powerful punch today. I live by one

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,000
of those old saints. Winning is a choice. The goal

8
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:23,800
of these episodes is to help preserve not only a language,

9
00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:29,600
but lessons in life. My name is arrow, supposedly versus supposedly.

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,560
Let me say that again, supposedly versus Supposedly. They sound

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,640
alike as if being the same word. But is there

12
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:40,079
a difference? Well, both are adverbs, but that's about all

13
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:44,280
they have in common. Supposedly implies that something is thought

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,799
to be true, but there might be a reason to

15
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:53,320
doubt it's truthfulness. In question. Supposedly suggests something is within

16
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:57,039
the realm of possibility. It's often used in a hypothetical

17
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:02,320
or speculative context, but is suposably a real word. Both

18
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:07,680
dictionary dot Com and chat gpt typed in supposedly twice

19
00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:12,519
after I clearly said suppose ably. Supposedly is supposed to

20
00:01:12,519 --> 00:01:14,799
be a real word, but there might be a reason

21
00:01:14,879 --> 00:01:17,640
to doubt it, mainly because the search engines didn't go

22
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:21,159
directly to the word. Research shows we're using the word

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:26,319
supposedly absolutely wrong. Knowing the different definitions can clear things up.

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,120
For that matter, understanding word history could easily correct our

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,480
verbal word path supposedly made its way into our language

26
00:01:35,519 --> 00:01:38,719
in the seventeenth century, but it didn't really become part

27
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,879
of our street speak until the nineteenth century. So how

28
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,920
are we supposed to simplify this situation? Here's the answer.

29
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:54,599
Don't use either one say allegedly supposedly versus supposably something

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,959
our parents would say, I'm marrow
