I can't think of a sentence where "None is" would be more appropriate than "None are," so I'ma vote plural.
I wouldn't say that. Take something like "I can think of three options, and none of them is appropriate." I think the difference is whether the items that make up the "none" are acting individually or in concert. So I would lean towards "none of the staff are coming to the meeting" but "I invited 20 people to my party and none of them is coming."
In both cases, "are" would not strike me as incorrect, but "is" seems to carry a little more nuance. OTOH, you could solve the whole problem by using not one instead of none which would clearly call for the singular. Or would it...
So DH might be traveling on xmas morning for work.
I really don't want to go to his co christmas party
Thank you for the well-presented Intro to Cancer Pharmacology course. I thought the content was interesting and the drug information was compiled in a thorough manner.
Woo! Man, I am so glad it didn't turn out to be the disaster I thought it would be.
I know that this is not the worst thing in the world, but I don't like this.
THis is so outside of his job description

Well, that's problematic. It's one thing if that's what he signed up for, but if it isn't...I hope they are at least apologetic about it.
Hell, no.
no apologies, no compensation for lost time.
And Xmas is a Friday. So he'd be working somewhere that weekend? Can't he say no I have family obligations?
beth, that is so not okay.
ION, I need everything from this upcoming Lip Service clothing line. Pink & black stripes! Ruffly skirts! Ruffly blouses!
My guerrilla marketing queen has informed me that I'm going to write LS a letter explaining that they should give me 1 of everything in the line as a promotional thing, because really, who better to show off this particular line? (She also informed me that after I write a draft of the mail I am supposed to send it to her, because she knows I'm kind of wishy-washy when it comes to self-promotion.)
Your guerrilla marketing queen is correct - because who else is that entire line made for?
