Depending on the method of preparation, defrosting may be suggested. 1  Allow 12 to 24 hours to defrost steaks, depending on thickness.  Allow 4 to 7 hours per pound to defrost large roasts or thick compact pot roasts.
A myth has emerged that none always requires a singular verb. Not true. The word none can take the singular or the plural. In the words of New Fowler: It is a mistake to suppose that the pronoun [none] is singular only and must at all costs be followed by singular verbs or pronouns . . . . At all times since the reign of King Alfred the choice of plural or singular . . . has been governed by the surrounding words or by the notional sense. New Fowler, p. 526.
âSheâ and âherâ are both gender specific pronouns. A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun. This can better be explained with an example. Nancy scored good marks. She is intelligent. In the above example, âNancyâ is a proper noun, and âshe,â which is used in replacement of the proper noun, is a pronoun. This is Marthaâs pen. Give her the pen. Here, âMarthaâ is a proper noun, and âherâ is used in place of the proper noun.
