This phrase drives me nuts. "One of the only," as in, "This factory is one of the only ones making full-sized SUVs."
I always thought the proper phrase was "one of the few." "One of the only" seems like it should be "THE ONLY."
I hear this often on the news, and read it in the papers, and it's making me crazy. Or am I already crazy?
