"None” doesn't just mean “not one.” According to dictionaries, it also means “not any,” so it can be plural. ... So “none” can be singular or plural, depending only on the speaker's intent or emphasis. “'None' has been both singular and plural since Old English and still is,” Merriam-Webster's notes"

Can someone who knows Hungarian explain this construction egyik sem? I don't think we have met it in previous lessons.

I always understood that none means more then one even if it abbreviates "no one" - doesn't it mean the speaker saw more then one and found none acceptable ? Or pretty in this case...

I typed: "One of them is nice" and it accepted me as a right answer. It should be wrong!
