Anonymous  +  579941 Sat, 25 Oct 08 03:50 AM I am asking myself whether "neither" can be used with "nor" to link more than two elements each other. For example can we say: Neither them, nor I, nor you can say such a thing. Anonymous

To refer to "none of several," none is preferred: None (not neither) of the three opposition candidates would make a better president than the incumbent. · The traditional rule also holds that neither is grammatically singular: Neither candidate is having an easy time with the press. However, it is often used with a plural verb, especially when followed by of and a plural: Neither of the candidates are really expressing their own views.
