    only bus and bus only mean the same thing, read it whatever way you want, they’re both grammatically valid

      Both are

      • absolutely grammatically valid
      • nearly antonyms of the other

      This is a level of hell that has no comparison

        Is that the case? I’m not a native speaker and I assumed it means the same?

          • only exit: this is the one way and one time that you can ever leave the highway

          • exit only: the one thing you are allowed to do in this lane is leave the highway

          I guess they’re not exactly antonyms. Sorry.
