Me either OR Me neither? MW Collegiate Dictionary says Me Either is correct.

Shouldn't it be "Me neither" in this example?

"I didn't like the movie." "Me either."

Perhaps "either" is truly correct because the sentence equates to "I didn't either." "I didn't neither" would be incorrect because it's a double negative. Your thoughts? Should it be "Me either" or "Me neither" in that example?

  • @whippoorwill When you write your question title, the system scans for possible duplicates. The one nominated is in that list, and was probably top before this question was posted. – Andrew Leach Jan 24 '15 at 22:52

Since you are communicating a NEGATIVE idea, you should include a negative form, thus - NEITHER would be a better and the most correct form in many cases.
