Me Either vs. Me Neither

Welcome to the Grammar Minute, where we're saving the English language sixty seconds at a time! I'm Lauren Smyth, and today we're going to talk about the difference between me neither and me either. Depending on who you ask, there isn't one. Colloquially, they both mean the same thing, and I'm in the camp that says they're pretty much interchangeable with a slight preference for "me neither." Actually, both phrases are probably grammatically wrong, for somewhat complicated reasons I'm not going to drag us through. On the internet, you will sometimes see people argue that "me neither" is used to agree with negative statements, such as "I don't eat grass - me neither!" while me either is used to agree with positive statements. They typically don't give an example of the latter case, and I'm pretty sure that's because there isn't one. I certainly couldn't think of any. So the summary on this issue is don't use either one in formal writing, but don't also get too picky when you're having a casual conversation. That's your Grammar Minute!
