Is enGlish language beautiful or really complicated?

A good piece of language brushing indeed............

Professor Ernest Brennecke of Columbia is credited with inventing a sentence that can be made to have eight different meanings by placing ONE WORD in all possible positions in the sentence:
"I hit him in the eye yesterday."

Guess what the word is???

 The word is "ONLY".

 
The Message:

1.   ONLY I hit him in the eye yesterday. (No one else did.)
2.   I ONLY hit him in the eye yesterday. (Did not slap him.)
3.   I hit ONLY him in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit others.)
4.   I hit him ONLY in the eye yesterday. (I did not hit outside the eye.)
5.   I hit him in ONLY the eye yesterday. (Not other organs.)
6.   I hit him in the ONLY eye yesterday. (He doesn't have another eye..)
7.   I hit him in the eye ONLY yesterday. (Not today.)
8.   I hit him in the eye yesterday ONLY. (Did not wait for today.) 

This is the beauty and complexity of the English language.........
