The other part of the post is a matter of whether you're English or American.
OT: Obviously No one. Noone is incorrect. You can use 'no-one' but it's no different to 'no one'.

My firefox browser has a british english dictionary installed into it and I never got corrected on any of those examples I listed asides from 'amongst', which both american and british english don't use.
also I have yet to find a definite answer on "'s" v "s'" for proper nouns ending in "s". please show me a website where this is confirmed. where you put the possessive apostrophe with words ending in "s" is unknown because english is not a regulated language. this is why on occasion the language is super flexible, and the reason why we have so many flexible swear words.
