am i wrong 'noone'?

Question

ok i have seen my husband write "noone" a million times and i always tell him its "no one". now i see other people write"noone". so my question is am I wrong or my husband and everyone else? is it 'no one' or 'noone'?

Answer 1

its "no one"

Answer 2

It's no one.



One trick I learned is if you are unsure as to which version of a word choice is correct, then type them both into Google and see which one has more hits. The one with the most hits is very likely the one that is correct. Usually there is a clear difference that becomes evident. Use quotes around any phrase to make sure that you are looking for an exact match.



These are the hits for these choices:



"noone" 13,900,000 hits

"no one" 215,000,000 hits



I was surprised that there were so many hits for noone, but it turns out that that is a very common last name. For example, one of the hits on the first page was for Peter Noone, a lead singer for the 60's band Herman's Hermits.

Answer 3

I don't know why people write noone because it is no one. Noone is not a word. Look it up, it won't be in the dictionary.

Answer 4

It is "no one". I have never seen anyone write it like "noone". I could see how someone could get confused by it though.

Answer 5

You're still right. It's a matter of spelling to indicate pronunciation. Although we write "anyone" and "nobody," writng "noone" makes it appear to rhyme with "moon."

Answer 6

It is "no one". It is two words. Plenty of people write incorrect things, but it does not make them correct. And texting has made people very sloppy in spelling and grammar.

Answer 7

no one

Answer 8

no one

Answer 9

Answer 15

It's definitely "no one", ask any english teacher

Answer 16

Ummmm,



it's = "it is". That's what you should be using in your phrase: 'I always tell him it's "no one".'



Oh, and "no one" is correct but you should consider "nobody".
