"generally are willing" vs "are generally willing"

by Aquamarine Tue Oct 09, 2012 8:56 pm

Is there a difference in meaning between the following clauses ? :

1. .. who generally are willing to pay ...

2. .. who are generally willing to pay ...


It seems to me that generally as an adverb can modify either the verb are or the adjective willing.

i doubt that the GMAT would ever create a question that required you to make this distinction. either of these should be fine..
