This drives me nuts in this group. (Along with a few other writings by
our resident nut jobs.)
Some of our other while seemingly educated folks have adopted this
illiteracy. From the urban dictionary; The only place that I could
find it.
1. noone
Meaning "no one". Perhaps inspired by the word "nobody".
Most commonly used by people who acquired their literary skills in
online chat rooms.
2. noone
The incorrect combination of "No one". Also, an older English spelling
of the the word "noon".

Actually Joe, we can all be guilty of writing shortcomings now and then.
Albeit some are "preferred differences of opinion" vs. actual grammatical
mistakes, they are there. Take your post for instance:
1. the parentheses are around an entire sentence which is usually not
seen in most usage. This is not to say it's and outright mistake, just
that it's no widely accepted. You could have reworked that as a sentence
standing alone without the added kings.
2. the sentence "Some of our other while seemingly educated folks have
adopted this illiteracy" should probably have had commas setting off the
"while seemingly educated folks." This might come under the parenthetical
element rule.
3. Next, the sentence "From the urban dictionary; The only place that I
could find it" is bulky and could have used some parentheses except that
you used your quota in your first sentence. Rule says, "there can be only
two parentheses used for every fifty words or fifty words to that point,
whichever comes first." I'm really not sure that the semicolon is proper
there rather than a full blown colon. Then again, a full blown colon
could be classified as a huge fart waiting to happen and wouldn't be
covered under that ruling.
I'm sure many could find usage mistakes in this post but my point is,
give it a rest, accept it for what it is and then noone will get pissed
off.

"Other while" instead of "otherwise"?
Drives me nuts in this group.

I read it to sound like "noon", only with a stronger "u" sound. It is
irritating.

A lot of folks on RSG care about writing and are good at it. Others, not
so much. I don't think it's fair to beat them over the head with their
grammatical shortcomings if the jist of what they're trying to say is
clear. It's a waste of time to try to teach people how to write. Either
they care or they don't. Or they can't. Same thing.
