The word "alone" comes from a compound of "all" + "one".

About 85% of my reddit browsing had been on pretty niche subs, so I'm still using reddit to engage in those communities (of those that haven't shut down). I'm trying to contribute to the equivalents here too, but the engagement is still on reddit for now.

The other 15% was just the occasional trip to /r/all to see if there was anything interesting going on there, to which the answer was usually... no. That's pretty much been replaced by here now.

To explain: /eː/ and /oː/ exist in Australian English, but they're the vowels in SQUARE and NORTH respectively, so Australians don't naturally associate them with foreign /e/ and /o/. If you can force an Australian to say "care-sore", it sounds remarkably like Spanish "queso"!
