"She told only him she loved him."
"She told him she loved only him."
"She only told him she loved him!"
"She told him only she loved him."
"Only she told him she loved him"
Or even:
"Only she only told him she loved only him."

Your third and fourth are the same. No it's not I read it wrong

Now you're dropping fractal sentences.

She told him she only loved him.
She told him she loved him only.

I think you're on to something. All of these posts indicate several things:
1) why requirements are subject to broad interpretation.
2) why we have so many different programming languages.
3) why programming languages are so hard to read, even if you know the language.

only that sentence
that sentence only
and even more literally:
this sentence is not that sentence, only those with the ability to edit your post can put "only" in that sentence.

Yes indeed. Was saddened to hear that Jerry passed away just a few days ago.

it's what you get when you take a Germanic language and then tack on two millennia-worth of words and externally-imposed spelling and pronunciation rules from Latin languages.

Doubtlessly posted here before The Chaos - Gerard Nolst Trenité , didn't spot it in the previous thread. It really is a mongrel language, but that's also what makes it so flexible.

How come the word Australia has 3 A's and they all are pronounced differently?
(This has been brought on as my new girlfriend is French and lived most of her life in Spain so is educating me on the weirdness of our language)
|

that's true for everyone except Austalian's:
being somewhat simplistic simple for them it's only got 2 ayy's and pronounced sayed 'straya' (all the a's have the same sound and it's all lower casesmall letters - more than that is way too hard for them.)

In Spanish the letters always make the same sound. It makes learning it much easier.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

The same in Welsh - but we have different letters and different sounds from the English ones!

'The cat with nine lives lives next door'
Two ways to pronounce 'lives'.
English is a mess. Actually, it is a joke it is so bad, and English language pedants who insist xyz is correct are just silly. Nothing is, or isnt, correct in English, so bastardised is it.
Heck, even our greatest writer invented thousands of words, and used nouns as adjectives, so why cant any of us!

Our English teacher used to say: "Don't be confused. It's written as elephant, but we pronounce it like piano."
(It sounds better in Hungarian )
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Like the, is it, nine ways to pronounce -ough.
Cough, slough, plough, though, thorough, through, er, probably a few more...

"Je vais aller au parc"
French for "I'm going to go to the park"
The word "To Go" spelled and pronounced two different ways in French.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
