A question about the English language

[Waflix]

I was wondering which word is written correct. Please see the poll(s).

Someone is one word, so is noone/no one also one word?

EDIT: New option in both polls.

You NEVER combine no and one. It's always "no one".

It's similar to the phrase "a lot". People combine it into "alot" but that's incorrect.

No one is correct but it strictly says No and one if you place a hyphen so that you have no-one then that links the two words together to get the message across. e.g. No-one else wanted to reply to this post.

Actually, I've never seen anyone using a hyphen between no and one. It's always assumed.

Of course, the English language is a real shitstorm when it comes to rules.

No one for both options.

Yeah, gotta agree on the "no one" thing. The closest thing you can get to a contraction is 'none', but that's closer to 'nothing' than it is to 'no one' unless used very specifically.

EDIT: Just some clarification.

From a prescriptive point of view, it should be "no one." From a descriptive point of view, both are correct.

Nobody. Dumb problem solved.

Monday I will ask my teacher what she thinks is correct. But I thought she said "noone" is correct. But since a few of you are British or American and my teacher is Dutch, I think I trust you more. So keep voting if you want, but from now on I will use "no one" or "no-one".

A third option was added before your post, so don't you actually mean "all are correct"?
