Hi! guys.
I'm so wondering about possible responses to agree to what other people say.
ex1> S1: I like him
S2: I like him, too
Q1> In example 1, can other possible responses be replaced like "Me,too", "Same here", "So do I"? Then which response more casual?
If "me, either" is possible in this context, I'm so confused because "either" can only be used in neagtive sentences as shown below.
ex2>
S1: I don't like him.
S2: I don't like him, either.
S1: I like him.
S2: I like him, either (x) / I like him, too.
Q2> If "me, either" can be used as a short way of " I don't like
him, either, I think there is no difference in meaning between "me,
netiehr" and "me, either". What I want to know is where I'm stuck in understanding the use of "me either".
I know some ungrammatical expressions can be allowed and fossilzed in casual speech due to speakers' unconsciously frequently misuse. Does this case have something to do with such an issue?
Have a nice day. Thanks a lot in advance
