Video Text:

Just sending off my taxes. Let’s go ahead and seal that envelope.
Now, be careful when you’re using the verb that you don’t say EN-veloped.
My friend said that once.
It’s not EN-veloped.
The noun is EN-velope or ON-velope.
But the verb is en-VEL-op.
Stress changes: en-VEL-op.
Envelop.
To wrap up, cover, or surround completely.
