...classic as gossip.?
i have it typed in word and it has a problem with the sentence starting with the word none and the word classic..if that helps.
are there any suggestions of how to get the thought across but make the sentence less awkward
 
I think it is a little awkward.

You might want to try:

Gossip is the most classic of traditions.

I believe that is essentially making the same point, just a little clearer.

Good luck,

It just means gossip has always been and always will be, but traditions aren't involved with the entire world following it through.
 
It's a very weirdly stated sentence, but I don't see any grammatical mistakes. It has a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought. That by definition, classifies it as a sentence. Then looking it again, it is neither a comma splice or a run-on sentence. I would suggest it be rewritten for the reader's sake, but it is technically correct.
 
None of these traditions IS as classic as gossip-

None is singular
