| Apr 12, 2012 at 13:07 | comment | added | Roy | Hi RegDwight: To clarify: Neither refers to 2 or more. You can't use neither to refer to one option directly and also it can't be used for no choice arguments (or zero options). | |
| Apr 12, 2012 at 13:05 | comment | added | Roy | 0 of them are awesome. Just like you would say none of them are awesome. Another example: None [of these sweaters] are blue. | |
| Apr 12, 2012 at 11:34 | comment | added | Matt E. Эллен | That's not right. Your reasoning is flawed. For example you can say 0 of them is awesome. This is essentially the same as neither. | |
| Apr 12, 2012 at 10:28 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | Your wording is rather confusing and the formatting isn't exactly helping. Which option do you recommend now, and why? Is your intent to contradict the answers already posted, or supplement them? It's not clear to me at all. | |
