Deals with the usage of "either" and "neither" with a plural verb when followed by a prepositional phrase starting with 'of.' This is often seen in informal writing, especially in interrogative constructions. Example: Are either of you taking this seriously? Have either of you two clowns read the aasignments? RULE NO. 8. The conjunction ‘or’ does not conjoin the subjects. When ‘nor’ or ‘or’ is used, the subject closer to the verb determines the number. Example: Either of my brother or my sisters are going to sell the house.
