In english, is it allowed to say "Me neither" instead of "Neither do i"? I think not but Johnny disagrees :D .

i dont know dude but i say it all he time hehe

I *used* to say it but then my sis said it aint correct. I *think* it isnt correct [img]tongue.gif[/img]

it's not...It's either I can neither do this or that (as an example) or I can either do this or that. It's a bit like saying "Me either" which frnakly sounds as though you're too stupid to string together correct sentances... :D

Basicly, it is incorrect. It is poor english.
and it is used very commonly. Americans dont speak
english very well :D

You know, languages have really changed recently. with so much education going on, more people know what is "proper". No longer do languages change as much as they used to. Really, whatever is the most common is correct, because that is just the flow of the language.

Actually, many things are allowed in conversational English, but some things mark you as uneducated. Saying, "Me, neither," is one of those things. Of course, incorrect English can be used in emphasis, especially if the user usually speaks precise English. Them saying "I AIN'T gonna do it." gives the denial emphasis. But, Slackerboy is right, it is not strictly correct to speak in fragments.
