NALS NEWS & UPDATES FOR MAY 2017
Articles
Can you help me?  It seems I have been getting busier at work and my workload has grown to the point that I am nearly confused.  The files on my desk have slowly piled up to where I cannot tell what is coming or going.  I am just working one file at a time and not sure where to start to get all of this straight. 
 

The word none can be singular or plural depending on the number of the noun it is referring to. Back in my fourth grade English class, none was always singular. Again, grammar rules have changed and modern thought is that it can be either singular or plural. One way to decide is when you can replace the word none with not one, then none is singular. If you mean not any, then none is plural.
