For a very simple reason, the second example

• I had originally planned to cite my sources

is to be preferred to the first example

• I initially had planned to cite my sources.

Both sentences are grammatical, but the second allows contraction, and would be pronounced

• I had originally planned to cite my

sources which is better colloquial English Contractions are pretty standard in colloquial English.

What is the best place to put a focussed adverb in a sentence (there may be many, after all), right after the first auxiliary verb, where negation and other heavy stuff tend to work best.

Might is an auxiliary verb. I would. Modal and mood all refer to the same logical phenomena, so this is in the same semantic area as the subjunctive, conditional and optative moods. English doesn’t have moods, but it has tons of modal constructions to do the same job

In general, modals are more polite than non-modals, just as the subjunctive mood is more polite in languages like Spanish that have a subjunctive mood. Why do we say:

• Would you like…?

No longer

• Do you want?

How can I make my question sound polite?

The pragmatic tag I might add is a politeness marker. What’s that
