Perfect rule?
Is this a perfect rule for the "none x is/are" usage?
"In the simplest of terms, when the sense is plural, as indicated by a plural noun or pronoun in the subsequent prepositional phrase, none is plural; when the sense is singular, as indicated by a singular noun or pronoun in the following prepositional phrase, none is singular. When the sense is plural, use plural words."
