ออกเสียง frankly = “FRANGK-lee”

ออกเสียง openly

Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary:

Frankly

Sentences beginning with this word 

           are properly admissions of 

           something shocking or unflattering to the speaker; 

 

but when a public spokesperson

           for a business or government is speaking, 

           it almost always precedes a self-serving statement. 

 

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn” is correct; 

but “Frankly, I think the American people can make their own decisions about health care” is an abuse of language. 

 

The same contortion of meaning is common in related phrases. 

When you hear a public figure say, 

             “to be completely honest with you,” expect a lie.
