one

The way people talked in the twenties, thirties, and wasn’t that much different from today. As a matter of fact you’ll see a number of the same words used today. Of course speech patterns change from town to town, state to state and country to country. But one that’s stayed the same all through the decades, although different, is fads and the use of slang.

What does "one" refer to? Is it gramatically correct? (I have some doubts because I looked for a singular noun the pronoun "one" may stand for but I couldn't find any). What do you think?
