Maybe it did happen momentarily and you missed it?

seriously I laugh so much about the differnce in the way 
Americans use the word "momentarily" from the way it is used
in OZ (and UK too I believe)

for the Americans thinking 
"Huh?"
We use the word Momentarily to mean "FOR a moment" , not "In a moment"
so now interpret "The train will be leaving momentarily"
and "Gcc2.7 will be implimented momentarily" in this new light and see
why it breaks me up so much..
