take this sentence for example: I did not say i beat my wife.
I did not say i beat my wife. (i didnt say, he did)
I did not say i beat my wife. (i didnt say it, i wrote it down)
I did not say i beat my wife. (i didnt beat her, i just pushed her)
I did not say i beat my wife. (it wasnt my wife, it was my friends wife)
I did not say i beat my wife. (it wasnt my wife, it was my girlfriend)
Italics
