EmPHAsis

Sometimes it's not about what you say, it's all about how you say it.

I saw this today, which perfectly illustrates that point:

If you say the sentence seven times, each time placing the emphasis on a different word, the meaning of the sentence shifts.

1. I Didn’t Say You Stole My Money.
2. I Didn’t Say You Stole My Money.
3. I Didn’t Say You Stole My Money.
4. I Didn’t Say You Stole My Money.
5. I Didn’t Say You Stole My Money.
6. I Didn’t Say You Stole My Money.
7. I Didn’t Say You Stole My Money.

Interesting, no?
