Usage notes
While the Latinate penultimate'' is predominant in written works, the traditional English expressions for this idea were (last but one) and (less often) (second last). Following the 1920s, American use has favored (next to last) to the point that ''last but one'' functions as a Britishism. While ''last but one'' continues to be somewhat more popular in Britain, however, ''next to last , (second to last), have been gaining in popularity.Synonyms
