I have questions about "each of"

First, I have known that "each of" must be used with "plural nouns" and "plural pronouns". But lately I knew that "each of" was used with "singular pronouns" in some web sites.
For example,
...quality physical ranking school therapy graduate ... the physical therapy school of each of it.
==>Question: Can �each of� be used with �singular pronouns�?


Second, Can �each of� be used with �uncountable nouns�?
For example,
Each of the information is useful.

As far as I am concerned it is possible to use 'each of' with singular noun only in the very formal language. However, I wouldn't recommend using it at all. Coming back to 'each of information' I do not think such a form exists. But I can be wrong, of course.

Thank you, sir.. But I am still confused....


Do you mean that it is possible to use "each of" with "singular pronouns"?

And

Do you mean that it is possible to use "each of" with �uncountable nouns"
in the very INFORMAL language but using it with "uncountable nouns" is NOT GOOD?
