01 b 00 I don't want to just uninstall that plugin, I also want to get Flash Player to work again. 02 b 00 - That should be the best position for "just" (maybe). Is it possible to move it before "want" or before "that plugin"? 02 br
01 b 00 I don't want to only uninstall that plugin, I also want to get Flash Player to work again. 02 b 00 - But if I change it to "only" I don't like it anymore. What's the most natural position? Should I move it before "that plugin" ot before "want"? 02 br
