Where Does Only Belong?

Michelle Corbin

The Boston Globe publishes a blog called “The Word Blog” where I discovered (via a Twitter post to this blog) an article(external link)* about the placement of the word “only” in a sentence. It was fun to see the journalistic view of this grammatical construct (or nit, in the author’s words). Where do you fall on where only belongs in a sentence? Is it more than a nit in technical communication?
