Correct English.

[thejudderman]

Not sure im in the right section but can someone answer me this....

Someone said this to me earlier.

"I cant wait till later"

My reply was "me neither".

She said it wasnt very good English...... I should have said " me too".

Is she right??

Thanks.

[aelmpvw]

neither can I would be better

[hc4361]

None of that conversation is very good English, but the meaning is clear and that is all that really matters.

[RATTER15]

Either way it is perfectly understandable English, tell your friend to get a life!

[Svejk]

It's perfectly clear, judder. Tell her to get a life.

[Svejk]

Snap. ;)

[viv41]

I would have said 'me neither'.

[thejudderman]

I know its all perfectly understandable!!!

All I want to know is if my reply was the right word! Did I use the word 'neither' correctly??

[hc4361]

Yes, you did!

[Old_Geezer]

IMO yes fine.

[RATTER15]

"I cant wait till later" is often nonsense anyway. We usually have no choice.


"I cant wait for summer" what is the alternative?

[ichkeria]

She was wrong and you are correct

[bednobs]

"I cant wait for summer" what is the alternative?
Get on a plane and go somewhere in the world where it is summer!

[Peter Pedant]

neither introduces a further negative statement
and so you are right

I agree with hc - so long as it is clear then it is all right
but that meants
" woss he on abart ven ?" is as good as " can you tell me what he means pease "

[Hopkirk]

Whether she is right or wrong, she is bloody rude to correct you.

[Jackdaw33]

Both are acceptable. Me too means Nor can I (wait). This is the same as Me Neither.

[Togo]

Neither of you will be composing a sonnet later.

[jourdain2]

You are correct, but even better would have been 'Neither can I'.

[Jackdaw33]

People who object to the use of 'me' in these situations do not really understand grammar. Me is emphatic, I is weak when standing alone. Here 'me' is the equivalent of the French 'moi'. The French reply here would be, 'Ni moi' or, more usually, 'Moi aussi'.
