i got an email from miho ina yokohama in japan, and she asked me, er, what basically means. It's a very common word, particularly for me. Lots of people use the word basically.

The third one is obviously, obviously. Now we've got adverbs like basically, actually, obviously, strangely enough, peaking recently,. unfortunately, amazingly, and er, hopefully.
