Remember: Only the lonely! It’s easy to slip only into a sentence carelessly, so get into the habit of using it right in front of the word you want to single out.

NOTE: The whole point of putting only in its place is to make yourself understood. In the examples on page 122, the various locations of only make a big difference. But in informal writing and conversation, if no one’s likely to mistake your meaning it’s fine to put only where it seems most natural—usually in front of the verb: I’m only saying this once. This food can only be called swill. The more grammatically correct versions—I’m saying this only once; This food can be called only swill—only sound unnatural.
