Latest revision as of 01:36, 25 March 2013 [edit] English [edit] Etymology 1 no + one [edit] Pronoun noone - Nonstandard spelling of no one.
[edit] Usage notes - Noone is formed in parallel to the formation of nobody, anyone, and everyone, but it is often considered incorrect because of the doubled vowels creating a temptation to read and pronounce it as "noon" (/nuːn/).
- American users (COCA) prefer the spelling no one to either noone or no-one by more than 500 to 1.
- UK users (BNC) prefer no-one to noone 50 to 1 and no one to noone 12 to 1.
