Assunto:  One for all and all for one
 
Mensagem:  We often use one instead of repeating a singular countable noun, don't we?

Do we miss one one in the following excerpt?

"Often, solutions appear immediately--just as happens when you throw out the 'wrong' software and put the 'right' software into your PC."

The author of the statement might have written "... 'wrong' software and [...] the  'right' one..." (The author might've used a one for the second occurrence of "software".)

Do you agree?
