Is none of them a singular or plural concept?

It can be either.Although technically a SINGULAR value (no one), none can use either singular or plural verbs, depending on the context (especially when an adverb indicates that it does not actually mean "no one" single person or thing).None of them are going to the fair. Of the three candidates, none is going to the fair.The value none meaning nothing, no part, is singular.None of the cake is left.But when used with plurals, either verb could be acceptable.None of the cakes is left. None of the cakes are left.

Which is correct none of us is or none of us are?

None is short for 'not one (person/thing)' or 'no one' or 'not any.'Because 'none' has a 'singular' basic meaning, it is easy to think that it should always be followed by a singular verb, e.g. "None of us is perfect."However, in the English language, for over a thousand years, none has been used with both singular and plural verb forms!In fact, when the meaning is "not any persons or things" (see example above), the plural form is much more usual, i.e."None of us are perfect."But, if the word 'none' is used with specific reference to a singular entity, and clearly means 'not one / not any,' it is followed by a singular verb: e.g."Of all the books in the world, none is more well known than ... ."For more information, see Related links below.
