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

 * : 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
[https://www.ahdictionary.com/word/search.html?q=neither 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)
