People are dumb, and spelling as a function of English, especially in America, is fvcking atrocious.

Because, there should be a single word that means "no one". Why? Look at the pattern below:

Someone, Anyone, Everyone, No One.
Somebody, Anybody, Everybody, Nobody.

Which is out of place. Hmmm. This is a tough problem. I'm remembering the Sesame Street game. :music: One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong.:music:

Since we see an obvious problem with the English language, we should correct it. We should make 'noone' a single word.

People who read phonetically and don't learn their grammar from the Internet would read that as "noon" with a silent e.

Since when does English have any strict pronunciation rules?

Excellent Post! My thoughts exactly.

Not strict, general. Double vowels follow GENERAL rules. The letter "o" placed next to another "o" makes a sound that we know in good, wood, etc in common nouns. Did you miss 1st grade?

There are many other common words with different sounds for "oo". Food, floor (two different pronunciations are acceptable at Dictionary.com), and blood all sound completely different. So, right off the top of my head are four different pronunciations for the "oo" letters. I'm sure there may be a few more. What harm does one more pronunciation do?
