As in “I’m sure noone’s going to reply to this post”.
Really. I see it so often (on these boards and elsewhere) I’m beginning to think that m-w needs to update. Many times it appears in an otherwise impeccable post.
Please, don’t ask for cites. I don’t want to embarrass anyone.
So, do I need to get with it? And is this word going to be in the next edition?
My real question is; Is this a very common typo, or is it style?
Peace,

“Noone” rhymes with “soon”
“No one” does not.
“Noone” will go in the dictionary over my cold dead body. 
But noone will care. 
Noone is not a word. However, it can be used as no one. Kind of like alot and a lot. The latter is the correct form.
…so is it “any one” or “anyone”?
anybody know?
After posting this question, I thought maybe I was just imagining things again. Maybe I was fixating on this word. So I did a search on our venerable search thingie. I used ‘noone’, 'anywhere in text, and ‘since one year ago’.
Here’s what I got, hitswise.

Wow! The word was used at least once in 445 threads. And people think I’m crazy.
Crazy like a faux.

Rather than an intended (mis)usage, it may well just be one of those common typos that people make because they’re posting hurriedly from work and fear the wrath of their cow-orkers.
As far as I know “noone” is not a word. But there IS a contraction for “no one” (if you’re in too much of a hurry to type the space)…
It is, of course, “none”
(and it’s even shorter than “noone”!!!)
Anyone is a word. See http://www.yourdictionary.com/
Anyone can use “anyone.” If any one person uses “noone,” all will think it’s a real word, it seems. No one should use “noone.”
My old Webster’s New World Dictionary (copyright 1974) actually has a listing for no one, but nothing for noone.
Are you sure that the search wasn’t turning up only part of the word, such as “nooner”? From what I’ve read here, that word could be used a lot. 
The spoken contraction I hear could best be written as no’ne.

Good show, mangeorge, good show!
It’s a typo. The proper spelling is nooner.
The British sometimes spell it as “no-one.”
I doubt “noone” will ever catch on simply because it’s not immediately obvious that it means “no one.” The instinct it to pronounce it like the word for the middle of the day.
The OED lists “noone” as an archaic variant of “none” or “noon”.
There is no separate listing for “no one”; that term appears under the headword “no”. No usages of the form “noone” are cited. Evidently that spelling was not prevalent enough at the time the 2nd Edition was published to merit inclusion.
anyone refers to a person
any one refers to an object
