No one or noone

No one is a singular indefinite pronoun that means “nobody,” “no person,” or “not a singular person.” Since it functions as a singular noun, no one is followed by a singular verb form.

This pronoun is sometimes written as noone or no-one, but both of these are incorrect. You should only use the two-word spelling—no one.

Noone or no one or no-one example
  • No one wants dessert today; we’re all full.
  • Noone wants dessert today; we’re all full.
  • No-one wants dessert today; we’re all full.
Note
No one is already a negative expression, so you shouldn’t use it with another negative word—doing so creates a double negative. While double negatives are used in other languages, in English, double negatives cancel each other out and make the meaning unclear.

No one doesn’t like football,” for example, actually means “Everyone likes football.”
