ToBE #5 : The 'only' problem

The only problem:
The word 'only' impacts the meaning of a sentence depending on where it is placed. Most people miss the significance and almost always, place it right after the subject. For example, "I only came on Thursday".

Following is an interesting example in LIFCO's "Good English - How to Master It?" that illustrates the difference the positioning of 'only' makes to the meaning of the sentence.

The basic sentence is straight-forward : Ravi went to the movie today.
Now, let us allow 'only' to run through it word by word.

Only Ravi went to the movie today.
Meaning : No one else went to the movie, only Ravi went.
Ravi only went to the movie today.
Meaning : The only thing Ravi did today was going to see the movie.
Ravi went only to the movie today.
Meaning : Ravi went to the movie today, and he did not go anywhere else. (Please note that there is a slight difference between this and the previous one).
Ravi went to only the movie today.
The above sentence does not make sense, we will skip it.
Ravi went to the only movie today.
Meaning : There was only one movie running and Ravi went to it today.
Ravi went to the movie only today.
Meaning : Ravi did not go to the movie on any other day, he went only today.
