I am ashamed of myself. Another of my peeves is misplacement of "only".
Today I left a comment on another's blog, which ended with "It only hurts for a little while." As soon as I posted it I wanted to fix it.
"I only eat fish" does not mean the same as "I eat only fish."
I should have said "It hurts for only a little while."
Tsk.
