Adverb placement
Adverb placement
(OP)
A previous thread in this forum said preferred adverb placement is after the verb. For this sentence I read in a journal:
"...process that was originally invented and patented by..."
Should it be written "...process that was invented and patented originally by..."?
Thanks.

Good question. I think both, but I am not sure. I think there are unoriginal patents and inventions - the paper clip was patented originally by X, and subsequent patents have been given to Y and Z.
