If you use Neither and Nor in the same sentence is or isn't that considered a double negative?

Neither capital punishment nor mercy killings are appropriate choices as punishments because they may increase violence amongst society. \n\nNo, it's not a double negative, they actually go together. :)\n\nI like neither cats nor dogs.

To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether it is...\n2  2  2   3   2  2   4   2   3   8          7      2  2

Kerplode is right - but that's kind of complicated.  Basically you solve both in exactly the same way.  The only difference is that instead of an = you have an > or <.  \n\nIt just looks different, there really is no difference in how you solve them.

Well...it actually is debatable, but I'd go with "was" to be on the safe side...\n\nWith either/or (neither/nor) things that contain subjects that take different verb forms, there is no definitive agreement on which form the verb should take.\n\nA majority, however, says that you should follow the subject that is closest to the verb, in this case " I ", so, since:\n\nI WAS asking for refills --> Neither you nor I was asking for refills.\n\nA minority say that the verb should always be singular in these cases, and an even smaller minority say that either verb form is acceptable.\n\nSo your best bet to avoid the ire of an anal-retentive English teacher (or professor, editor, yourself, etc.) is to go with the "closest to the verb" rule, in this case WAS.

Dear HA,\n\nNeither usually has a negative connotation to it.\n\nSo for example do you want your eggs:  scrambled or sunny side up.  You would say neither - you don't want them one way or the other.\n\nEither suggests that you want one or the other.  If you do attach a negative word to either though it makes it basically synonymous with neither.\n\nIe:  I would like either scrambled or sunny side.\n\nor I would not like either scrambled or sunny side.\n\nHope that helps.  You may want to invest in a style book-- (many journalists use it) and it may suggest to you when it is appropriate to use one over the other.\n\nHope that helps... kindly,\n\nNickster

Ain't is a word.  It is a contraction of Am Not.  Most people just use it in the wrong context.

Zero - is it positive or negative?

Yes, the word "neither" screws up the question.  If neither is a nickel, then there is no nickel.\nBut if "one is not a nickel" then the other could be.

Is that the same principle as two negatives making a positive?\nThen the answer would be yes.

It's just like a double negative in a sentence.  If he can understand that "I do NOT have NO money" means "I have money," then it's the same thing.  The negative of a negative is a positive.

It's better to say "I hardly" or "I rarely." "Don't Hardly" is a double-negative.

No, they are not the same. The first one is grammatically incorrect & should not be used. The second is grammatically correct & is used in the context of the comparison e.g "Isn't there the same problem in the English government as in the American government, in regards to international trade?"

Yes,\nbecause you cannot have two things contradicting each other yet both of them are correct. for example, a>= b and a<b , they cannot be both correct.\n\nWhich one is correct then? well that's for you to find out.\n\nRegards
