Obviously
0 Hi, 02 br
00 is there any difference between... 02 br
02 br
01 b 00 This is not obviously true. 02 br
00 This is obviously not true. 02 br
02 br
00 That can't obviously be true. 02 br
00 That obviously can't be true. 02 b 02 br
02 br
00 I think there is a difference, and obviously can be placed either after or before a negation, but with different meanings. 02 br
00 I'd say "not + obviously" = "it's not obvious that something is...", and "obviously + not" = "it's obvious that something is not..." 02 br
00 Thanks 05 0 010id 1
