"Me neither." ...Dear God

[Jerba]

"Me neither" makes absolutely no sense. Nor does "Me either." People try to make it sound more sophisticated by saying "I don't, either," but it still doesn't work.

You have to say "Nor do I."

In context:

"I don't like that band."
"Nor do I."

Or this:

"I haven't done that."
"Nor have I."

The reason you have to use 'nor' is because of the rule: either and or; neither and nor. In a different context, it would be said:
"Neither Jim nor Jess likes that band." You have to use 'nor'. It's the only word that works.

Due to our speaking habits, we have become inclined to say "[something], either," or "[something], neither." This is utterly incorrect.

In proper context: "Neither Jim nor Jess has taken out the garbage."

And now for a fun anecdote:
In school, I was walking back to class from lunch in a long hallway. There were voices all around me, but two freshmen behind me were talking very loudly. One stated "Me either," and the other corrected her to say, "Me neither." They were yelling and arguing over which was right. Just about when they had decided both were correct, I stopped, turned around, and yelled, "It's 'nor I'!! 'Nor I'!!" And they were quiet.

So don't get it wrong.

The only reason no one says "nor I" anymore is that it sounds too Victorian.
In conversation it really doesn't bother me.

Agreed. The only reason "nor I" isn't used anymore is because it sounds too Victorian.

Maybe it's one of these differences between American English and Queen's English. What do you think?

At this point, I think it's becoming like "I could care less."  

[hippiefreak]

I agree with you, however when I use "nor" I get very strangle looks.

I generally give a snarky response to this one...
