Grammar Note

Since none has the meanings 鈥渘ot one鈥 and 鈥渘ot any,鈥 some insist that it always be treated as a singular and be followed by a singular verb: The rescue party searched for survivors, but none was found. However, none has been used with both singular and plural verbs since the 9th century. When the sense is 鈥渘ot any persons or things鈥 (as in the example above), the plural is more common: 鈥 none were found. Only when none is clearly intended to mean 鈥渘ot one鈥 or 鈥渘ot any鈥 is it followed by a singular verb: Of all my articles, none has received more acclaim than my latest one.
