"One ... only"

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Perhaps one of the only American Indians depicted on U.S. paper money...

— What's meant by this clause? That he was perhaps the only native American on U.S. paper money, or that he was "one of" a few native Americans (plural) on U.S. paper money? The only refers to a singular subject. Were there others besides Running Antelope? Sca (talk) 15:52, 6 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

"Only" with a plural noun does not indicate a singular. Consider: "Franklin and Theodore were the only presidents named Roosevelt."

However, "one of the only" is a poor expression since it does not really say anything. Usually when people say it, what they mean is "one of the few". And here it's even worse since it says "perhaps". I'm going to flag the sentence as unclear. --76.69.47.228 (talk) 08:44, 17 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
