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

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.

Found the loophole.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day 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

[–] Anticorp 1 points 6 hours ago

It's neither, nor either.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day 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!

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

We are all on our way toward death.
