ENGLISH - A POWERFUL LANGUAGE Professor Ernest Brennecke of Columbia University 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. 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 doesnt 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.) This is why it is important to be precise!
