'Apparently'

'Apparently, G told me we are good friends'

'Apparently we are going out to the movies today'

'Apparently, my name is Sneha'

'Apparently, birds fly in the sky'

Ok. I made up the last one. The other three are real sentences spoken by a lot of my peers, who for reasons beyond my comprehension, use it wherever they can. It's became like a fashion statement, the word has grown in equivalence to, let's say, a Gucci bag or a Prada skirt. Also just like how we have fake Prada and fake Gucci, we also have the rampant misusage of the poor word. So, in colleges like mine you have people saying stuff like, 'Apparently, P told me that Z and F are going out!'

Dude, watch it! Ouch, what language. You don't use apparently, when you yourself has spoken the words.

The 'apparently' disease is common among the Professors as well. We have the 'jolly guy', who uses the word like its his second name.

"Apparently, I have not read the following case in Constituitonal Law "

Again, dude you apparently do not know the correct use of the word in question.

So, yeah this sometimes leads to funny results,
like,
'Apparently S told me there's no class today'

'Apparently, I am going to the doctor'

This habbit irritates me. i have scarred my vocal chords, by the sheer nunber of times I had to yell at people, and reason with them, and yeah, also try and explain to them. Oh no, it's still the same,'Apparently, I cried in my sleep last night'

Maybe not everyone can afford to buy Gucci bags, and Prada skirts, but I am sure they can try to learn the propoer positioning, of words in sentences!

Apparent, ain't it?
