A myth has emerged that none always requires a singular verb. Not true. The word none can take the singular or the plural. In the words of New Fowler: It is a mistake to suppose that the pronoun [none] is singular only and must at all costs be followed by singular verbs or pronouns . . . . At all times since the reign of King Alfred the choice of plural or singular . . . has been governed by the surrounding words or by the notional sense. New Fowler, p. 526.
