If I say to my friends looking together at one of my old pictures,
"Let's see, this is me. Next but one from the right",
Am I at the second place or the third place from the right?
1) O O O O O O ME O
2) O O O O O O ME O O
Sorry for such a primitive picture. ;)
Next but one..

Re: Next but one..
Next from the right = the one NEXT to the first one; so, second...
If you say next BUT one from the right (clumsy English, but understandable) you are third in line - hope that helps...
