One time or once? I watched an American series, and I heard 'I have met her only one time'. What's the difference between 'once' or 'one time'? Can I use them interchangeably? Thank you in advance for your time.

One time is for people that don't know how to use once. :)

'correct' and what is commonly spoken aren't always the same. If the speaker is referencing one time in particular, they may say 'the one time', as in: "We only met the one time." You will hear 'one time' and 'once' used interchangeably by native speakers, but 'once' is the most common way it will be spoken.

They are both possible, and there is no difference in meaning.

In British English "once" is correct.
