"Really" is commonly used, in that sentence structure, in both fashions.
Thus how this issue can creep up. Its really pretty easy to hear that sentence and take two different meanings from it. | Not really. I understood what she meant and didn't try to make more of it. Just like when Ron Paul said he'd take Duke's money and put it to good use - I didn't read it as "he's a nazi!" but then again thats just me. I tend to read what people say instead of what I want them to say.
