"I prefer only" is a grammatically correct and usable phrase in written English.
It is typically used to indicate that the speaker or writer has a specific preference for something, limiting it to only one option. This phrase can be used in a variety of contexts, but it is most commonly used in sentences expressing personal choices or opinions. Example: "I prefer only organic produce when grocery shopping." In this sentence, the speaker is stating their preference for organic produce, and nothing else. This indicates that they do not want any non-organic options and are only open to purchasing organic produce.
