Frequently Asked Questions

Do "Waze" and "we" mean the same thing in a sentence?
No - they are not even the same part of speech. "Waze" is a name and "we" a pronoun, so a sentence built for one is usually ungrammatical with the other.
In ordinary French text, does "Waze" or "we" show up more?
"we" is the more common of the two: it sits at frequency rank #4,392 in our French list, against #45,955 for "Waze". That is a wide gap, so in ordinary text the rarer spelling is the one worth double-checking.
