Dear Anglika,
Thank you so much for your explanation. Now I understand it.
It's the first time that I have heard the structure "not either +adj.+or +adj." What I was taught was:
It is not cold. It is not wet, either.

"Either" cannot be used to express "but". If you wanted to say it is one but not the other, you would say: It is not cold but it is wet / It is not wet but it is cold. |
