Frequently Asked Questions

Is swapping "omet" for "one" ever safe?
No - they are not even the same part of speech. "omet" is a verb and "one" a noun, so a sentence built for one is usually ungrammatical with the other.
Frequency check: "omet" vs "one" - which ranks higher?
"one" is the more common of the two: it sits at frequency rank #2,436 in our French list, against #33,807 for "omet". That is a wide gap, so in ordinary text the rarer spelling is the one worth double-checking.
