Hey "Is this sentence correct" people. I have one for y'all:

Is THIS correct?

Seeing that none of you was here with me yesterday...

Is this correct knowing that when one conjugates NONE it would be as if it is read "No one...WAS" or what?

Can someone who knows help?

Yes. Even though it may seem strange...

On the other hand many native speakers operate using Proximity Concord

This happens frequently in natural speech and is the tendency for concord to be linked to the closest noun or pronoun rather than the head or subject noun. Therefore:

“None of them were good enough.” Proximity Concord

Versus

“None of them was
