Found the loophole.

Us is a plural subject, so I believe are is correct.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

think of the positive version of the sentence and it becomes more obvious it should be is:

"Either of us is going"

Or, to further stress the point, turn it into a question:

"Is either of us going?"

The subject is not us, it's "either of us", which is singular

Problem is: "Are either of us going" sounds right too.

Either is not always singular - Either the Red Sox or the Yankees are going to win tonight, not Either the Red Sox or the Yankees is going to win.

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago

Fair, didn't think of that. If x or y in "either x or y" is plural, the whole phrase is plural. Either the Red Sox or the Yankees are going to win, either their team or ours is going to win.

Thanks for pointing it out!

It's neither, nor either.

Translation:
[Death] What does that mean, resurrected? I'm traveling the long way here, and now something like this.

[Guy in bed] I think that's outrageous too.

Someone overhearing this now knows that if they reach a Halloween party, they will be briefly immortal.

DID ANYONE ELSE READ DEATH'S VOICE LIKE THIS?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I think a mean girls "get in, loser" style death is still mostly unexplored

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
