Subject:Another grammar question From:Shannon Luce <Shannon -dot- Luce -at- GE-interlogix -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 13 Jun 2002 17:23:00 -0400
"My sentence: Factors that are the same across all pipelines and internal
companies are only included in this form.
Summer Students: Only factors that are the same across all pipelines and
internal companies are included in this form."
The meaning is changed by moving the word "only." A classic example is
putting the word only before every word (and after yesterday) in the
following sentence:
I hit him in the eye yesterday.
The summer student is correct [if that's what you mean:)].
