Anonymous  +  813895 Fri, 10 Jul 09 03:07 PM I am trying to help a friend who is translating something from urdu to English but his grammar is a little weak. he wrote, "Never forget Heaven nor earth" I want to say it's incorrect because of double negative. I would like to suggest, either "Forget neither heaven nor earth" or "Never forget heaven or earth" The first sounds better to me. Am I right? is his incorrect?

I'm a nonnative speaker and see no reason to prefer one to the other.
