it is important to be precise

ni saya dapat dari FB sorang pensyarah ukm kl

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 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.)                     

so, conclusionnya.. bila kita tulis or cakap or buat mestilah tepat dan jelas.. sebab hanya perubahan kecil jer mampu mengubah maksud sesuatu benda tu.. benda macam ni la yang buat orang selalu salah faham..
