Usage
The traditional view is that, to avoid ambiguity, you should place the adverb only next to the word or words whose meaning it restricts: I have seen him only once rather than I have only seen him once. In practice, people tend to state only as early as possible in the sentence, generally just before the verb, and the result is rarely ambiguous.
