The strangest word in English is “One” as a vowel. That’s the one, I pick that one, I want that one, you are the one..etcThose usages are not vowels, they are nouns.
The other use of "one" in English is as a pronoun, when speaking of oneself as an everyman, as in: "One never tires of such winning."

I always wonder how people do learn English as opposed to other languages, English has so many quirks to it like that.
