T axe My Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
Let. Us Correct a Superstition.
81. (Scrapbook Item)

Today's column Is very important
in that it punctures the widespread
superstition that the pronoun none
Is singular and must be followed BY a
singular verb, as: none Is
never: none are }.
Recently wrote, None of these
pronunciations are correct" Imme-
diately my mail leveled a rebuking
finger at me and said, Colby, you're
wrong; it should be none ISL"
1t is true that none evolved from
the Anglo-Saxon ne an, mot one"
1t is also true that none has been
both singular and plural for CEN
turies. Let's look at some good
authorities:
Webster'S New International:
None with a plural verb is the
commoner construction, as, None of
their productions are extant.-
Blair"
Funk g. Wagnalls: when the
singular or plural equally we'll ex-
presses the sense, the plural is COM
monty used, as, None of these words
are now current.
None is also given full sanction as
plural by the New Century, Mac
mfllan's, Winstons, Thorndike Gen.
tury and Random Houses Ameri-
can College Dictionary.
College Handbook of Composition,
by Wooley & Scott: None usually
takes plural verb, unless a singular
idea is clearly intended; often in
that case no one or nobody is sub
stituted for none"
Working Grammar. by Fernald:
None Originally meaning no one)
was formerly held to be singular
only, but is now by approved au-
thors used also in the plural"
What approved authors? Well,
in Lady of the Lake" Scott wrote
None linger now upon the plain -. -
Tennyson, in Sir Galahad":: Il hear
voice but none are there" In
Lamentations ID, jeremiah is quoted
as saying: "The ways of Zion do
mourn, because none come to the
solemn feasts." None are equal to
those whom it does not concern

The bidding:
North East South West
club Pass heart diamonds
Pass Pass Double Pass
Pass Pass
Opening lead, 10 of hearts.
We have commented a number Of
times on the fallacious doctrine that
under game contracts should not be
doubled without the holding of two
trump tricks. A sounder policy is
to double the opponents when you
are quite convinced that they can
not fulfill the contract which they
have undertaken, with the proviso,
OF course, that you cannot score
more points by going on with the
bidding yourself. Sometimes we
abandon the luxury of strafing the
opponents in favor of seeking
richer harvests that game or slam
may yield.
In today's hand from a recent
tournament the South player went
one step farther and made penalty
double of the adverse contract with.
out the sign of trump trick.
North ol'ened the bidding on the
barest OF minimums. Many players
object to opening on three bare
aces, but such action is recon-
mended where the opening bid can
be one club, inasmuch as the rebid
is not apt to be embarrassing. PART
ner may respond with one of any
suit and the opener can discharge
his obligation to speak again by
calling one no-trump.
South chose to respond with one
heart. West overcalled with two
diamonds and relieved North of the
duty to speak. When it got back
to South he engaged in a little
simple arithmetic. Since North had
been unable to make free rebid it
was highly improbable that his side
could go game. Against the diamond
contract, however, a number of
tricks could be counted on. Since
North had not supported hearts, it
was not improbable that three tricks
could be taken in that suit: the
spade holding would in conjunction
with partners holding very prob
ably produce a trick, and the opener
could be counted on to develop three
defensive tricks. On this count the
contract could be set two tricks, so
South doubled.
The 10 of hearts was opened.
South won with the queen and re-
turned a trump. North took with
the ace and continued with a heart.
North ruffed the fourth round,
cashed the ace of clubs and got out
with trump. This forced declarer
to lead away from his king of spades.
The total casualties were four heart
tricks, two spades, a club and a
diamond. Down three. The 500
points were handsome reward for
North and South, who, it will be
seen, could not reasonably have
scored a game.
