>English is horrible with the positioning of "only" - and in Serbian there's a good rule about where the word would go (and how would the meaning of the sentence change depending on where you put it), but people always mislay it. The resulting sentence is pretty much open to interpretation. So... what did you mean:
>
>- do nothing else but only imagine, keep so for 15 minutes
Can you only imagine looking into a bug report for 15 minutes?
>- do the imagining for no more than 15 minutes then stop imagining
Can you imagine for only 15 minutes looking into a bug report ?
>- do nothing else for 15 minutes but look at the bug report
Can you imagine only [just would be better word for this context] looking into a bug report for 15 minutes ?
>- do nothing else to the bug report but just keep looking at it
??? You've gone off the boil here looking for discrepancies to such a point that this is pure pedantry
>- look for 15 minutes at nothing else but a bug report
Can you imagine looking into only a bug report for 15 minutes ?
>- any of the previous for fifteen of nothing else but minutes (not hours, not days)
