Misadventure in Grammar

Back when I was in high school, maybe freshman or sophomore year, we had to do these daily grammar exercises that involved a nearly incoherent sentence being projected on the board that we had to copy and correct. Most of the time this was an uneventful and simple task but there was one time that I was totally stumped. The sentence read something like this:

Noone said we were going to her party.

Obviously there’s not much wrong with that sentence; picture one with more errors. However, I just went ahead and glossed over the word “Noone” because I thought it was a girl’s name. To me she sounded kind of pushy and not like someone I’d want to be friends with, but whatevs. I had a whole back story in my head for her, how her parents were both hippies who choose the name Noone because that’s what time it was when they met while naked at Woodstock (the original Woodstock). To each his (or her) own.

Turns out it was no one. Yeah.

Anyway, wizard on a bike:

Enjoy.
