Good morning professeur dave,

 

if you say "the one thing (amongst others)",          "then there are simply more than one things"......X

 

     errr.  then there is simply more than one thing!   

 

   "One of those things" reads better...you're welcome. 

  

  "The one thing (amongst others)"  is fine..... professor JoJu!   you are highlighting "one" out of several things.

 

  "My wife just left me and is going to sue me for all the money I have"    

 

     "Oh, it's just  one of those things"! ...........    a common example!

 

 

   What you meant to write was:    "One of the things".....that is equally fine."!

 

          avec tout le plaisir du monde  mon cher ami!  

 

 

     Luckily for me I'm fresh out of wives........errr....at least my ones!  

 

 

   When you've been speaking your native tongue all you life....mistakes are rare....mind you my spelling is not so great........

                       ....thank the Lord for spell check!
