My sixth grade teacher told us that nowhere started out as no where, morphed to no-where and on to nowhere. She also said that eventually no one would become no-one and thence to noone. This as a lesson in the flexibility of the English language.

She also said, "In the mean time, it's no one, ya little maggots!"

She was a tough teacher.
