So which is it? Coincidence, or am I an idiot?

    Coincidence.

    A little bit of both.

    Well done Captain Picky.
    Wait a second: That's bollocks. Of all the commonly used miss-spellings, "nor" to "or" is pretty minor.

    Well, I took it as a grammatical mistake rather than a misspelling (ahem), but, either way, it's wrong. 'Neither' goes with 'nor,' never 'or'.

    Nevermind. I'm just saying it's something you hear commonly in normal speech. Roll on, Grammar Nazi.

    I find it kinda awesome how Faye was born quite close in time to when I was (within 8 months or so). I hope I live to see 2071.

    Oh gods, they're multiplying. Look, we have standards on this forum to make sure it's easy to read. If you have a problem, you might want to go elsewhere.

    @Logan: You might. If I live to the current life expectancy, I should die somewhere around 2062 so you just have to outlive that by nine years which is quite possible.

    Wait. People actually say "neither ... or"? I've always heard people use it correctly, as in "neither ... nor".
  • OmnutiaOmnutia
    In everyday speech you wouldn't pick up on it. It's not a thing normal people would notice.

    Rule #1: Be mindful of your grammar and spelling.

    Neither is the difference between "there" and "their," yet we will enforce that rule.

    What's the big deal? It's just how people talk.

    Neither Spikenor Spiegel are that rare.
    I'll just say that nitpicking things like that are annoying, as it read not like "hey, watch your grammar and spelling", its more like "IT IS I LACKOFCHEESE THAT COMES TO CLEANSE THE MASSES FROM IDIOCY. LOOK AT ME! I KNOW MY GRAMMAR AND SPELLING AND YOU ARE RETARDED"

    Actually, lackofcheese does know his grammar and spelling and seems pretty damn smart otherwise, so I think I wouldn't piss him off if I were you.

    no no no NO NO NO! NO!

    If so, Rym & Scott, please give him moderator status like Mr.Period, that way he/she can do their thing and I don't have to read 13 replies that have NOTHING to do with the original thread (15 with this one).

    Punctuation goes inside quotation marks. Move that comma.

    That's not true. It can also go outside quotation marks.

    That's when it's part of the sentence inside the quotation marks.

    BREAKING NEWS:
    High and mighty cock-face panics in light of correction.
    They're called 'rules', not 'standards' you utter moron. Now, can this shit be over with? It isn't worth anyone's time to talk with Omnutia.

    This is incorrect. Commas and periods go inside closing quotation marks, irrespective of the purpose of the quotation marks; colons and semicolons go outside closing quotation marks.

    It might be how you talk. I've never heard anyone say "neither . . . or . . ."
  • OmnutiaOmnutia
    So that's the big deal?

    I think at this point it's one of those things that, if you have to ask, you'll never know.
