[11.50b3] Typo - 'only errors' -> 'errors only'?

[miskox]

I am not a native English speaker so somebody else should give more info on this.

Version 11.50 has this:

-------------------
Verify checksums:

- New checkbox "Only errors" to only show lines with errors and the summary

-------------------

Shouldn't 'only errors' be changed to 'errors only'?

Sorry, I'm not a native speaker either. Any native speakers here?

AFAIK, both expressions are used equally. I got both of "only X" vs "X only" in texts ever read. May be just small difference like "center vs centre", etc...

See any examples of the text previews:

I'm not a native English speaker either, but I think both are allowed.

Reminds me of the song Only you. They don't sing "You only"

Hmm
In Danish it kan be written in only one way when I make it a sentence by applying "Show" ("Vis") to the phrase:

Dansk: "Vis kun fejl" and Google Translate suggests:" Show only errors"

Both seem to be fine, see e.g.
