Beauty of English - ஆங்கிலத்தின் அழகு

The Beauty of English 

Professor Ernest Brennecke of Columbia is credited with inventing a sentence that can be made to have eight different meanings by placing ONE WORD in all possible positions in the sentence:  "I hit him in the eye yesterday". The Query: What is this word? The Answer: The word is "ONLY". The Message: 1. ONLY I hit him in the eye yesterday. (No one else did.) 2. I ONLY hit him in the eye yesterday. (Did not slap him.) 3. I hit ONLY him in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit others.) 4. I hit him ONLY in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit outside the eye.) 5. I hit him in ONLY the eye yesterday. (Not other organs.) 6. I hit him in the ONLY eye yesterday. (He doesn't have another eye.) 7. I hit him in the eye ONLY yesterday. (Not today.) 8. I hit him in the eye yesterday ONLY. (Did not wait for today.) ஆங்கிலத்தின் அழகு ஆங்கிலத்தில்  குறிபிட்ட ஒரு சொல்லினை குறிப்பிட்ட ஒரு வசனத்தின் ஒவ்வொரு இடத்திலும் இடும்போதும் வித்தியாசமான கருத்தினைக்கொடுக்கும் என்பதற்கான அழகான உதாரணம்.
