There is no such word as "noone."

That is just a small annoyance, however, in light of the gruesome, pervasive and corrosive misuse of the singular form "There's..." with plural objects. It grates on my nerves with its stupidity.

Get it people, "There's" is a contraction for "There is" which can never be mistaken for a plural construction. "There's many reasons why I speak like an idiot and one of them is in this sentence."

People are so lazy. They take advantage of the (dubiously) allowed contraction "There's" but then hearing the 's' sound construct the belief in their brain "Wow that must be plural, it has an 's' at the end!" and slam every sort of plural after it.

"There's tons of people doing it."
