Is "None" Singular or Pluralp

Thomas r. Lounsbury, In Harper's Magazine.
1t is not from disregard of derivation that
the speech is in any serious danger Much
more harmful Is the Difference mistakenly
paid to it. From this results not unfre-
quently a pedantic and even painful mode
of expression In opposition to the best
usage. ana that too. without the slightest
counterbalancing advantage. remarka-
BILE illustration of this can be seen In the
case of none as the subject Of a plural
verb When and where the outbreak Of
hostility to this usage first manifested
itself 1t may not be easy to determine.
Apparently 1t was not until of late that
any one ever thought seriously of ques-
tioning the propriety OF the construction.
But the fact seems suddenly to have
dawned upon the mind of some student
of speech that none was contraction Of
no one. The processes of logic were at
once set in motion. No one Is exclusively
confined in Its construction to the singular;
1t cannot be used with verb In the plural.
In that all would agree. The conclusion
was at once drawn that the word derived
from 1t must be exactly in the same sit
uation. 1t was therefore highly improper
to use none as the subject of a plural verb
1t is needless to say to any person who
has made himself familiar with the best
usage, either Written or spoken, that none
has been and Is employed indifferently as
singular and plural: IL anything more
frequently In the latter number than in
the former. The study of our best writer's
settles that point decisively. 1t is in the
power of any one to decide the question
for himself: and It will make little differ
ence what Is the work he takes up. At

cannot be turned into a dictionary of quo

Never Grumble.
