No, I absolutely am aware of the fact that the pitch on different mora in declarative sentences changes meaning from 今 to 居間, but I'm not sure which is which. I'm lucky that context has made it pretty clear my entire life which is which.
いまに行きます。
Is this "I am going to the living room" or "I am going now"? hehe
