grammaticality - Is it more correct to say "You have not yet " or "You have not yet"?




Having seen Correct placing and usage of "yet", it sounds like it may be correct to say either "You have not created any items yet." or "You have not yet created any items."



Is one more correct than the other, or is it a matter of preference? The first personally sounds more correct to me, but I wanted another opinion!


Answer



Both are completely correct, but "You have not yet *x*ed any items" is considered more formal, so it is significantly less likely to be spoken, as we tend toward informality in speech.
