Can anyone clarify me whether none is singular or plural. One guide says that we are supposed to use the portion after none (usually the 'of' construction) to identify whether 'none' is plural or singular. Another guide says that none is always singular and I felt that way too.
As I write this, another doubt is propping up in me. In the above passage, is the construction "to identify whether 'none' is plural or singular" a correct formation. I know 'whether a or not' is wrong, but is 'whether a or b' a right usage?
