    Only when I’m driving at night can I read bottom to top. That’s not a good sign. And it’s frustrating as all fuck to ONLY EXIT.

      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.
