Only Having Fun

If you liked reading this, pass it on.

Red and white poster with the words Dispose of Toilet Tissue Only in the Toilet.

I love the word ‘only’. You can have so much fun with it, depending on where you place it in a sentence. Take this poster.

Think about how the sentence would change if you moved the word ‘only’ around. For example:

 

  • Only dispose of toilet tissue in the toilet: are they using it for something else?
  • Dispose of only toilet tissue in the toilet: are they putting other stuff in there?
  • Dispose of toilet tissue in the toilet only: are they putting it somewhere else?

You can get yourself in a pickle if you don’t use ‘only’ right. Think of how it would affect your relationship if you used it like this: Only I love you. I only love you. I love only you. I love you only.

Think of how your relationship could turn out with these different declarations:

  • Only I love you.
  • I only love you.
  • I love only you.
  • I love you only.

If you love words and have nothing better to do, you can have a lot of fun.
