5. They keep adding rules to English grammar.
I know this, because when I graduated from college my grammar and spelling were perfect, and now there always seems to be something wrong with it. For instance, since when is it not OK to use OK? And since when can't I use a double consonant in the word "travelling"?

Inchworm, "noone" is a perfectly good word and don't let them tell you any different. Hell, half the country is using words like "nucular" and "joolery". If you want to use the word noone, you can damn well use that word. Dammit.O8)

6. It's two words (i.e., "no one")
or one hyphenated work ("no-one") in the UK, Australasia, etc.

16. "Eachother" feels like it should be a word.
Frankly, I'm in favore of returning to pre-standardyzed Anglish - let ye peeple spell wordes however they wante.

17. "noone" is the lead singer of Herman's Hermits, but I think it should be capitalized.
