The Cult of Lincoln

Grammar Tip: When asked by your roommate how late you stayed at work Wednesday night,

SAY: "I was there until 12:30."
DON'T SAY: "I was only there until 12:30."

The latter is symptomatic of insanity.

Pris:
"Only" is a misplaced modifier. You should have said "I was there only until 12:30"
