    None will stay calm???

    Hi,
    I am new here, and I am interested in Russian, because of the most trite reasons of all, love. Back to grammar:

    I was wondering whether anyone knows if this phrase None will stay calm is a 'bad' translation (too literal) of a russian phrase/expression.

    If yes, is the russian expression relating to something special or specific?

    Thanks!

    Shouldn't that be no-one, with a hyphen?

    Maybe, yes. I thought of something like that. It is a men magazine and they could mean somthing like connection between a man and a woman. For example "N(o)ne will stay calm". Just a thought.

    Speaking of hot women and "campy" English, here's Miss Raquel Welch in the (very, VERY 1960s) comedy The Magic Christian, with Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr:

    That doesn't sound right in English either. No one will stay calm? Under what circumstances? Maybe you mean 'no one can stay calm'.
