Dammit! I can’t take this anymore.
That darned word trips me up every time. Whenever I’m forced to use it, I randomly pick one and hope it’s right. If it isn’t, I hope others will assume it’s a typo.
For God’s sake, enlighten me!!
Which one is it?
“Nobody.” 
it is: no one
No one is correct.
Ahh, pldennison. My old nemesis.
I get the impression you were kidding, but you do have a point. Could all instances when I’d normally use ‘no one’ (Thanks navtechie & Perderabo) be changed to nobody?
For instance-
‘No one is here’ could be changed to ‘nobody is here’. Likewise, ‘no one I know likes physics’ could be changed to ‘noboby I know likes physics’.
I more confused now than I was before.
Is using ‘no one’ ever acceptable?
(Grammer is the bane of my existance. This post alone has presented me with more damn questions than the original post. I hate grammatical rules and regulations- me no likey.)
There is the sentence “There is no one way to do this” but obviously, that’s a different meaning. I can’t think of any cases that retain the meaning where “no one” cannot be replaced easily with “nobody”.
I know this.
No one who knows anyone with a ‘Collins English Dictionary’ will doubt that someone using ‘no one’ can also use ‘no-one’ as an acceptable alternative.
What’s Kelsey ever done to you?
