Great. Now I'm spending the night trying to figure out the difference
between "supposedly" and "apparently". Well, there is an apparent difference,
I
suppose. I apparently saw the tiger. I supposedly saw the tiger. It's a
matter of perspective. "apparently" is from my perspective. "supposedly" is
from a third-person's. To me it is apparent. To them it is supposed.
Apparently there will be Christmas gifts wrapped and a wonderful meal.
Supposedly
there will be Christmas gifts wrapped and a wonderful meal.
You're right.
It makes a difference.
