... and I don't want it either/neither

[cogu]

Hello everyone!

Could you please tell me which one of these sentences is correct, or sounds more natural to you?

1. I don't have facebook, and I don't want it either

2. I don't have facebook, and I don't want it neither.

Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated.

1. I don't have facebook, and I don't want it either :good:

2. I don't have facebook, and I don't want it neither. :bad::bad:

.No. 2 has a double negative, and is wrong. You could also say

I don't have facebook, nor do I want it.

Perikles, that was fast! Thanks a lot.

That's what I thought, but I've just read something and I was confused now.

By the way, in that sentence, how would you pronounce the word either?

/'iðər/ or /ˈaɪðər/ ?

/'iðər/ or /ˈaɪðər/ ?To rhyme with I, eye and bind. That is BrE. Those across the Atlantic will disagree. :D

Well, half-disagree, perhaps. To me both pronuncations are equally acceptable, although some US native speakers may use only one of them. I use both pronunciations, and I've never taken the time to tally which one I use more often than the other.
