- mkl 4y agoConfusingly, "largely" means "mostly". You probably want something like "extensively".

- iLoveOncall 4y agoOr he wanted "largely", because all there was to be said about the topic has already been said in that other thread.

- mkl 4y agoYes, could be. In that case "largely discussed in this thread" would have that meaning more than "discussed largely in this thread". To me those parse like "(largely discussed) (in this thread)" and "discussed (largely in this thread)".
- AndyNemmity 4y agoThere is no differentiation. "Largely discussed in this thread" and "Discussed largely in this thread" have the exact same meaning. Edit: The only difference is the intonation as you say the words in the different sentences. "Largely discussed in this thread" has a downward slope. "Discussed Largely in this thread" goes up to Largely, and then downwards after. Edit 2: Even then, it may be less intonation, than emphasis.
