They still made at least one mistake:

‘None saw him except me,” not “none saw him but me.”’

It really should be “None saw him except I”, because that is proper subject-object composition. You would not say “Me saw him”, if you were to state the sentence slightly differently, you would say “I saw him”.

They probably used “me” instead of “I” because of the implied preposition “for” after “except.”
