It's just that hard to type a space.

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

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:

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?Originally posted by: shud
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?
