Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

"None of them work"
Is the same as
"Not one of them work"

As i said before, you can't say

"One of them work, one of them don't"

It doesn't make sense and is wrong.

"One of them works, one of them doesn't"

Is correct.

The language has rules, they are just infinitely more complex than other languages.

I don't grasp the relevence for the alternate meanings of the word. In a sentence when the word none means "Not One" there is only one way to use it. I never mentioned the other definitions. Let's use them in our example just incase that is what you meant

"Not any of them works"

"Nothing works"

so it's

"None of them works"

Understand?

...it's "not any of them work". Not works.

I mean would you say "Do any of them works?", no, you wouldn't.

Neither are the rules of English that complex compared to other language really.

Either way, I don't feel like bothering much more, the fact is that both is perfectly fine to say and grammatically correct.

"Not any of them work"

Is would be the same as

"Not any of the person came"

when it's

"Not any of them works"
"Not any of the people came"

Not any is more than one, not one. So it's works.

Sorry Bardock, that's just not true.

No, that's incorrect. It would be the same as "Not any of the people came". Them is plural. I hope that cleared this whole mess up then.

Not any is more than one, not one. So it's works.

Okay, heres your mistake. In your example it would mean that it is "Not any of the people works", for example, you are just getting confused by the plural and singular, the correct word is "work".

Granted that example is wrong. But so what?

My point stands.

"None of them work"

Is still wrong.

Jeez I thot you were going to come up with something clever..

Oh good we call all move on at last.

you were almost a neo sandwich!

Ime happy too, this is not even an argument, its me trying to argue against random opinions and baseless statements, which is in itself an opinion of the statement being baseless so were getting nowhere, but ime also persistant...so....either a moderator officially states no more on this argument OR nobody replies to my posts at all and pretends they dont excist.

You're right!!!!

Ahhh I miss Barry, he's got to appear in another game.

Although apparently Chris killed Barry haermm

CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!!!

It's amazing. I got to argue with two deaf immovable objects at once.

Brilliant.

I'm comfortable in the fact that logical individuals will have the clarity to recognise simple truth and right thinking.

EvilAngel and Burning thought, it was a pleasure bouncing my tennis balls of intelligence off your lead-like minds.

You're both free to continue living in your worlds. It's evidently better in there.

(For those without a sense of humor, I'm ending the arguments now as further attempts at correcting people are obviously useless.)

In KOF 1994 and onwards does each team have an opening intro saying how they got into the tournament etc.

I wasn't arguing with you, I was saying there's potential for irony.

Few statements, I just showed you where you made the ad hominem, stop denying

youve proved nothing, it was part of your case, infact whats worse is that you used an ad hominem to tried to imply your case was proven anyway. so thats like an ad hominem placed on top of an ad hominem....

Please cease your usage of the fallacy fallacy please BT. It is kind of annoying.

No use getting butthurt because you were proven wrong.
