No one vs. noone - Usage - Grammarist

While phrases like no body, some body, and some one have evolved into the compound words nobody, somebody, and someone, the similar phrase no one has never gone this route. A quick internet search reveals that noone is popular for a nonstandard word, which shows that the impulse to compound is strong among English speakers. Still, perhaps because of the potential mispronunciation generated by the doubled o‘s,no major dictionaries list noone as an accepted word. For now, no one is considered the only correct spelling.
