now that

2:27

you know we shouldn't say neither nor is

2:30

there ever a correct and natural way to

2:32

use the word neither yes let me tell you

2:35

the most common situation to use neither

2:38

is if I said I don't like politics and

2:41

you responded me neither

2:45

you're agreeing with my negative

2:48

statement but here's the tricky part I

2:51

could say I don't like politics and you

2:56

could say me either you could use this

3:00

positive word to agree with my negative

3:03

sentence so which one of these is

3:08

sentence I don't like politics so we

should probably use this in maybe

English you are definitely gonna hear

3:27

people say me either

3:29

this is grammatically incorrect but

3:31

native speakers use this a lot and I

3:33

don't know exactly why but I kind of

3:35

feel like it's because we feel little

3:37

strange using the word neither because

3:40

we don't use
