Easy to mix with look-alikes

The spelling risk for all is neighbouring look-alikes ("ay", "as", …), not just typos; it is anadjective pronounced [ˈalː]. Frequency #4,391 among 7,704 “A” headwords. Gloss: "Otro.".

all has no tracked misspelling variants, typically a sign the spelling maps closely to how the word sounds. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "ay", "as", "am", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct Spanish form is all, spelled A-L-L.
