Left, right and center of nowhere

All the talk about a person being left, right, center of left and right of middle and on and on is confusing to me. Many times I wonder if people are only playing a verbal version of the children's game “Patty-Cakes” when they go into that dialog.

Here’s my take on it. This is what a person is posturing while arguing the different positions:

Left
-Only she said she loved me.

Far left of center
-She only said she loved me.

Left of center
-She said only she loved me.

Center
-She said she only loved me.

Right of center
-She said she loved only me.

Right of center
-She said she loved me only.

Right
-She said she loved me only. Period!

As always,

P.S. I have modified a little exercise on adjectives I got in my English 101 #2 or #3 class. (Smile)
