Frequently Asked Questions

Is swapping "Ajit" for "at" ever safe?

No - they are not even the same part of speech. "Ajit" is a name and "at" a preposition, so a sentence built for one is usually ungrammatical with the other.

In ordinary English text, does "Ajit" or "at" show up more?

"at" is the more common of the two: it sits at frequency rank #21 in our English list, against #41,497 for "Ajit". That is a wide gap, so in ordinary text the rarer spelling is the one worth double-checking.
