There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

Maybe I'm the odd one out but ime here in the States "omelette" is way more common. I would have assumed that the other is a typo.
Same, but I wanted to double check before I stated my anecdotal evidence as fact. I imagine it's also regional in America since there's some dialectal differences as well.
American here, I've always known them spelled as "omelettes." I checked the websites of our most popular breakfast chains (Denny's and IHOP) and they spell them "omelette," as well.
Specifically searching online for places that spell it "omelet," we've got a smaller casual chain Bob Evans, a few online recipes from some sites like Food Network and All Recipes, but most still overwhelmingly choose the "omelette" spelling.
I'd venture to guess that it's still the American standard way to spell it "omelette," but with a widely recognized alternative spelling of "omelet" sometimes seen.
