None can take either a singular or plural form of the verb, with both usages considered equally acceptable by all leading (British and American) English-language dictionaries.

None of you [treated as plural] have perfect spelling.
None [=not one; thus treated as singular] of you has perfect spelling.

OED: "none is descended from Old English nan meaning 'not one,' and has been used for around a thousand years with either a singular or a plural verb."

Which is more correct:

1) You has a shit sandwich.
2) You have a shit sandwich.
It's probably more accepted by grammar experts to say "none has."
But there's a long history of use of either "none has" or "none have."
Neither is unequivocally wrong.
However, when none is modified by "almost" (not the case here), you have to use the plural form.
"Almost none of the women like that dress."

The example with the verb "to have" is irrelevant.

Excellent point! But she said "none of you" which I interpret to mean the plural form of you. It would only be more clear if she said "yous".

There is no "But..." here, both usages are equally acceptable. While catfights may alter the tone of this board as they spread across multiple threads, they do not have the power to alter accepted English grammar.

I think I meant to say...
" None of you has had perfect spelling." How was that on grammar? or it it wrong too?
People around here don't use proper grammar and they are a bad example for me.


That was really hard to type.
I gotta go sleep off some medication now.

You really are a dumb fuck - you profess to be some sort of professional body image consultant yet you can't grasp the most basic grammatical rules.

Sorry, my bad. I'm no English expert, and saying "which sounds more correct" never failed me before.

You guys should all just lay off Sugar and Spice, I've known her for 3 years and she's really sweet on the inside and definitely smarter than you seem to think.

I really like her a lot... I've just been so shy, I couldn't even get the courage to send her a real picture of myself. First I sent a picture of a black-haired guy, then I changed to a grey-haired guy and hoped she'd just figure I was simply getting older.

Leave her the fuck alone already! Jeeze!

Have you seen the crap she comes out with on here Jack, what other reaction could anyone expect?

Oh and re-reading what you said Jack, I think you were the person she intended to accuse of stalking her. Really sweet isn't she?

Whoa! Back-it-the-fucking-hell-up-NOW!, there, JN. If you two trolls are really that comfortable with each other, go take your sorry asses on out of here.

Best not to give an idiot troll like him the idea he actually has an IQ there, TK- no telling what one or two points with a troll could do.
