Me either

[TheShellBeach]

............ should be me neither, surely?

It seems to be commonplace to write this nowadays.

Is this another comprehension fail or have I been saying and writing it wrongly all my life?

See also "worse case scenario" - surely that's actually "worst" case scenario?

Nobody?
No pedants around?

It is me neither, so you're not saying the 'e' sound twice running, it doesn't flow properly in speech.

It’s me neither.

I think it's the American version of me neither.

I remember reading it Sweet Valley High books a lot in the nineties.

Personally I prefer "Nor me"

Oh good.
I'm right, then.
🤣

Nor I, surely?

😂

See also "laying down" when you mean "lying down".

You're absolutely right. Of course it's me neither. Of course it's worst case scenario, the phrase requires the use of the superlative when referring to the 'most bad' thing that can happen. These phrases use basic grammar and it shocks me how many people get them wrong.

Yes indeed.

I suppose you could use this if you were for example laying a patio, but I'm assuming you mean when arranging your body in a prone position.

Yes. I mean when getting oneself into bed.

well, given that "me neither" is hardly the most standard grammar either I don't think true pedants will care

(and is it neether or naither?)

Whilst I agree with you, I do feel that using "neither" in these particular circumstances is better English than "either".

Oo that'll cause ructions, which is the correct pronunciation? I say neither with the first syllable sounding like eye. Just looked at my Oxford English dictionary and that has both pronunciations so I assume that means both are equally acceptable.

Let's call the whole thing off.

@TheShellBeach you should go and look on the pedants corner board. I love it there.

I'm amazed at the prevalence of "myself and my partner" and similar lately. Aaaarrrggghh.

It could be "worse" case if there were only two options perhaps?

Do you smoke Paul?

Prone means lying face down!

?

I've posted there in the past and someone told me I was too fussy, and that it was unkind to mock people's poor English.
