English grammar question?
Is this the correct grammar: "That possibly is the creepiest thing I've ever seen."
Should it be "possibly is" or "is possibly"? Thanks.

I agree that you could change it to "That is possibly the creepiest thing..." However, I would be more comfortable saying "That may be the creepiest thing..."

I agree with my fellow Alli, "is possibly" is the usual way to say it. You might say "possibly is" if you'd previously asserted that it definitely wasn't. You would have to stress "is" in that case.

It should be "is possibly" so, "That is possibly the creepiest thing I've ever seen"
