00consider these examples:02br
02br
01b00I don't want to just uninstall that plugin, I also want to get Flash Player to work again.02b00 - That should be the best position for "just" (maybe). Is it possible to move it before "want" or before "that plugin"?02br
01b00I don't want to only uninstall that plugin, I also want to get Flash Player to work again.02b00 - But if I change it to "only" I don't like it anymore. What's the most natural position? Should I move it before "that plugin" ot before "want"?02br
