Re: about "not..."

(1) Not one of them is correct.
(2) Not any of them is correct.
(3) None of them is correct.
(4)*No one of them is correct.

(1) - (3) are fine, but (4) is ungrammatical.

Note that in (3) you could also say "None of them are correct".

Re: about "not..."

Thank you,Paul!
So, is this relation acceptable?
not one of them=none of them=nobody

Thanks for responding to my question!

Re: about "not..."

Yes, "not one of them" amd "none of them" mean the same.

"Nobody" is slightly different as it doesn't refer to a set of people like the other two do.
