Grammar

not of your business / none of your business / not you business .....

Hey, can I actually use all of them: "This is not of your business" and "This is non of your business" or "This is not your business" ? Are they all the same?

Is it the same for: "This is not of you concern" ? Thanks!

In the US, we use: This is not your business. This is none of your business. This is none of your concern.

This is not your business.
This is none of your business.
This is none of your concern.

I don't hear:
This is not of your business.
This is not of your concern.
(These last two are grammatical, and would be correctly understood. I just don't hear them.
Perhaps someone else does.)
