Either vs Neither
Saturday night, I went to an expat bar.
That’s where you can go to meet other English speakers.
I got to talking with a Sicilian guy.
“Where in the U.S. are you from?” he asked.
“Virginia,” I answered.
“Oh, I spent a few days in jail in Virginia.”
Here’s the story.
One summer, he went to visit his uncle who lives in a small town.
One afternoon, he was walking down the street when the cops stopped him.
They didn’t believe he was from Italy.
“You’re either from Mexico or El Salvador,” they told him.
“I’m from neither of those places,” he replied.
They didn’t even believe his passport and visa were real.
So they threw him in jail.
I apologized and blamed it on Obama. (This happened in 2016.)
Why?
Why did I use “either”?
Why did I use “neither”?
Why?
