[Bug 1377962] [NEW] Improperly placed 'only'

 

Public bug reported:

In several instances we've placed the word 'only' before the verb.
These fragments could be more clearly written by moving 'only' closer to
what it is modifying.

'Name may only contain letters, numbers, underscores, periods and hyphens.'
'Key pair name may only contain letters, numbers, underscores, spaces and...'
'The string may only contain ASCII characters and numbers.'
'The private key will be only used in your browser and will not be sent to...'
'The requested instance cannot be launched as you only have %(avail)i of...'
'Launching multiple instances is only supported for images and instance ...'
'Rules only affect one direction of traffic. The opposite...'
'Name must start with a letter and may only contain letters, numbers, ...';
'The \"Migration Policy\" is only used if the volume retype cannot...'
'A volume of %(req)iGB cannot be created as you only have %(avail)iGB of ...'
'Volume cannot be extended to %(req)iGB as you only have %(avail)iGB of ...'

It's a minor issue; the meaning is already clear.  I'd like a 2nd
opinion before changing this.
