“I cried on my way there, I cried on the way home, I cried at my workout studio beforehand,” Evers says of the lesson, which took place last week. “Everyone’s starting to taste normalcy again, and I think everyone’s just really, really excited.” Evers is a choir member and music major at Northeastern University.

To better understand how prosody works (and why it’s so important), try saying the word “really” five times in a row, changing the meaning each time as follows: How cool is that?!I don’t believe you. I’m shocked. I’m delighted. I’m telling the truth. If you did this exercise, you changed your prosody at each repetition of the word, even though your pronunciation of the word (REE-lee) remained the same....

The fridge can do it, too; just make sure not to keep them next to apples or potatoes, or leave them in there for too long (20 minutes should do it) – they can cause odors if you do.

Of course, a breeze of any kind can send the fine, misty spray toward your eyes, so pay attention to air currents too....
