'A very common error is the misplaced `only'. To illustrate, Rosalie took the sentence "I hit him in the eye yesterday" and inserted `only' in each of the eight possible positions. Sure enough, each resulting sentence carries a somewhat different force:

             Only I hit him in the eye yesterday.
             I only hit him in the eye yesterday.
             I hit only him in the eye yesterday.
             I hit him only in the eye yesterday.
             I hit him in only the eye yesterday.
             I hit him in the only eye yesterday.
             I hit him in the eye only yesterday.
             I hit him in the eye yesterday only.

If you say "Here we only calculate the position of two vertices" you probably mean "Here we calculate the position of only two vertices."'
