1. OK grammatically. No one uses "whereas" in common everyday English. It's found in legal documents.

2. I'll upload these pictures to Facebook. <-- note the capital letter, "Facebook" is a proper noun.

3. What is today's exchange rate for the pound?

4. Do you mean someone who is English or someone studying English?

5. What is the minimum number of people that you need?

I use it in common everyday English. "Never say no-one!"

I often use it too. Actually it is one word I really like .

no-one!"

Is the dash here AusE? I don't see it in AmE.

And I vote for whereas. I'll use it on occasion.

"No-one" is how I'd write it too, and I'm BrE. I don't like "noone", it looks odd with the double vowel like that to me!
We do have a surname Noone in the UK and it's usually pronounced like "noon".

I wouldn't run it together either. Double "O"s are odd looking.

I prefer no one.

For the record, I wasn't suggesting "noone", merely asking about the hyphenated spelling.
