Placement of only
Hello,
What is the difference in meaning between these sentences?
"We only serve vegetarian food"
"We serve only vegetarian food"
My guess would be that the second one puts emphasis on the fact that this restaurant is a vegetarian one only, while the former sentence has more of an ambigious feel to it. It could mean the same as the second sentence but also that this restaurant does no other tasks except serving. Am I right?
Thank you
