Re: I am on the side of the truth whereas he is on the side of the lie. Correct?

I used to use 'no-one' until I realised it was wrong. But I like it. Somehow 'no one' just doesn't seem right. We say 'someone', not 'some one', 'anyone', not 'any one', so 'no-one' makes sense. Then I noticed it a few more times, and started using it again.
No-one has to copy me if they feel it's wrong.

Business English books teach expressions with "whereas".
I say "no-one" but I usually avoid it in writing using "nobody"!

To BobSmith:
I meant to say that I prefer no one to no-one.
