What's the difference between "tan solo", "solo" and "solamente"? If it's a matter of degree of emphasis, what's the order? Thanks!

I am not aware of any significant differences. "Tan solo" is probably used the least, however.

Watch accents: "obsérvalos" and when using "sólo" instead of solamente, place an accent over the first "o" Although I have been told that the RAE has eliminated that requirement in recent days.
