chuckle It depends what it's one of. The OP had ??

"Only" is one of the words which is rarely used correctly. It should
come immediately before the word that it is qualifying.

"The only lonely" would be quite wrong. Roy Orbison got it right with
"only the lonely".

I think you probably understood what I meant, although you do have a
point! It comes (shall we say) before the word or phrase that it is
qualifying.

Qualifying as a pedant is only for those who understand the
distinction between a word and a phrase.
