Which do you use on a regular basis?
"He likes only ham on his pizza."
or
"He only likes ham on his pizza."
If you use the first one, congradulate yourself. You have spoken proper English. "He likes only..."
I learned in class yesterday that many of us say "only likes"...but this is incorrect. I forget the reasoning behind it with the pronouns, adverbs, verbs etc, but if you'd like I can come back to this post and explain it later when I have my book.
Interesting, isn't it?
