I hate that THAT is acceptable but when I combine "no one" to "noone" someone HAS to call me out for it and act like English never changes to become easier

it's extremely petty but I'm still mad about it

    Nah let these gentlemen cook. I don’t get mad when people can’t do math and destroy the economy, but make one spelling or grammar error online and it’s over.

    I think a better example for you to follow would be how "a napron" turned into "an apron."

    However, I'm not a fan of "noone" as it doesn't look like it would be pronounced as "no one." It could perhaps be "no-one" or "noöne", but they seem off as well. And very few people use umlauts in English to signify that the two consecutive vowels are separate sounds (The New Yorker is the only publicaton that I know about that does this, but I'm not sure if they stopped).
