Talk:neither … nor

@Per utramque cavernam What's the point of this entry? A translation target? DTLHS (talk) 18:22, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

@Per utramque cavernam: I guess so, but I wasn't entirely convinced of its usefulness. I won't shed a tear if you speedy it. Per utramque cavernam 20:47, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

@DTLHS, Per utramque cavernam: It can be useful, if it's used and improved upon. I have added some translations, a definition and a gloss. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 04:27, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello! Recently a writing tool corrected me on the use of the word 'neither' as it should be singular, saying that 'neither' is followed by 'is' and not by 'are'. I googled it and found it seems to be debated often, but I insist since my intent was to discuss two objects in the negative context, that could rather be changed to 'both' are not, which I would change to 'neither of them are'. So, what is wrong with this? I think this is one time that we find a computer's text checker to be rather limited, and not allowing for creative interpretation.

not one or the other of two

According to the traditional rule, neither is used only to mean "not one or the other of two." To refer to "none of several," none is preferred: None (not "neither") of the three opposition candidates would make a better president than the incumbent. So are just two sets, one of one member and another of three members, being mentioned in Neither a preposition nor a comma, dash, or parenthesis. --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:30, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
