Noone

‘Noone’ should be a word.

I type this as I avoid correcting ‘no one’ in a quiz titled ‘Is she a friend or a foe?’ Someone, everyone. Then… no one. I wonder if this word would confuse people into pronouncing it noon with a silent ‘e’. or nooné maybe? Would the ‘oo’ have people not knowing their arse from their feet? I highly doubt it. I think we would positively pronounce it noone instead of reprimanding the one and leaving it oh so isolated.
