I do not like that dress.. - Neither do I

Question

I do not like that dress. It is horrific. - ......... Neither do I.

I was wondering if "me either" and "me neither" would be possible too.

Answer 1

"Me either" would sound strange to a native speaker - "me neither" is fine.

Colloqually we would probably say "nor me" - but I don't know how grammatically correct that would be!

Yes, "neither do I" and "me neither" are corrext. - Issabela, DIC 6, 2009

Answer 2

You can use the following:

Neither do I.

Me neither.

Nor do I. (the most formal)

Answer 3

All of the sentences in Marianne's response are correct. All could be further shortened by replacing "neither do/does" by "nor". However, it also a fact that vast numbers of English speakers would say "me neither" (to the consternation of grammarians [who prefer their subject pronouns to be in the nominative]).

In other words, grammarians prefer "neither/nor do I". But, "me/you/him/us/them neither" are expressions used by people. - nila45, DIC 6, 2009

Answer 4

Thank you Marianne, but realise that you haven't answered the other question at all.

Are "You/him/us/them neither" correct?

And nor does Morti :)) - Issabela, DIC 6, 2009

Answer 6

I don't think that horrific is a good word to describe a dress.

Maybe horrible would be better.

"driving" me mad :) - sheila-foster, DIC 6, 2009

At first, "awful" sounded good to me but the dictionary made me confuse - nila45, DIC 6, 2009

The dictionary is driving me mad. Thank you. - nila45, DIC 6, 2009

Awful would have been fine. Horrific is usually used to describe an event, rather than a thing. - sheila-foster, DIC 6, 2009

In UK they say "What a ghastly dress". - 00f2b5a1, DIC 6, 2009

No these would not be correct. I would say, neither do you/we/they , neither does he.

I agree with Eddy. - --Mariana--, DIC 6, 2009

What was I thinking about?. The real question is if "you/him/us/them neither" are correct.
