While one can use 'one', it does as you say have a certain British awkwardness that doesn't endear it to the Australian or American ear.

Deserved because of the typo? One probably shouldn't make such mistakes when discussing grammar!

I suspect though that most down-voted before fully reading and comprehending that in my comment I said exactly what you just repeated - that "one" is correct, but stuffy, and that there are other, better alternatives to "you" when referring to a broader readership.
