Expert writing Tips

Best practice

When intending to use "no either", consider replacing it with "neither" or "not either" for grammatical correctness. For instance, instead of "There is no water here now, and no buffalo, either", write "There is no water here now, and neither are there buffalo".

Common error

Avoid using "no either" as a direct parallel to a negative statement. It's grammatically incorrect. Instead, use "neither" or "not either" to properly connect negative ideas. For example, instead of "There's no front, either", use "There's no front, neither is there a back" or "There's no front, and there isn't a back either".

Linguistic Context

The phrase "no either" functions as an incorrect attempt to add a negative element to a preceding statement. As Ludwig AI points out, it's not grammatically sound. Instead, it often tries to serve as a faulty conjunction.

Ludwig's WRAP-UP

In summary, the phrase "no either" is generally considered grammatically incorrect in standard English. As Ludwig AI suggests, it should be avoided in formal writing and speech. Although it appears in various sources, its usage is inconsistent and often indicates an attempt to add a negative element to a previous statement. More appropriate alternatives include "neither", "not either", or rephrasing the sentence to use "nor". While "no either" does occur in informal contexts, it's best to opt for grammatically correct alternatives to ensure clarity and precision in communication.
