    Grammar Note:

    (From the American Copy Editors Society)


    A tricky agreement problem: Neither-nor
    When two subjects are joined by neither-nor or either-or, choosing the right
    number for the verb can be tricky for writers. Focus your attention on the noun
    closest to the verb. If it is singular, as in the sentence above, choose the singular
    verb. If the noun is plural, choose the plural form of the verb.
