	Mister Micawber  +  130524 Thu, 25 Aug 05 08:47 AM Both are possible, but #1 has limited use; the normal would be I bought two pens; both are good.  The either form appears in a context where obviously only one of the two items is required:  You can borrow either of them. (not both!) Mister Micawber Joined on Wed, Aug 4 2004 Yokohama Veteran Member 30,833 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'
