Hi! Could you check the following sentence? Is “one….one only” a fixed phrase? What about “one … only one”. I actually think that it should be “ONE…. ONLY ONE” in the instance but I’m not sure.🙏🙏🙏

It’s correct as written, I think it sounds better having the ‘one’ first north times. You could write is as ‘only one’.
