I have a confusion about the usage of None. I have seen below explanation and examples.
Explanation:
None is used with either a plural count or non-count noun. It CANNOT be used with a single count noun. The verb form will depend on the noun used.
Examples:
None of the girls have played soccer before.
None of the water has leaked into the basement.
I have no problem till here. Then, I have seen the below sentence:
Either is used as an indication of selection between two choices, while neither is used to indicate that none of the two choices is viable.
As far as I understand from above explanation and examples, the writer should have used "none of the two choices are viable." Is this just a simple mistake? Or, am I missing something here?
