Jennifer does not enjoy classical music. Her father does not enjoy classical music too.

I think the word in bold should be 'either'.

Could some member/s confirm whether/if I am correct?

Also, which word is better: if or whether?

Thanks in advance.
 
Yes, you have my confirmation.:cool:

Absolutely. A positive statement takes "too", a negative statement takes "either".

Could someone confirm if I am correct?

OR

Could someone confirm whether or not I am correct?

However (!), if you ask someone to confirm something, you are asking them to agree with you. So it would be better stated as:

Could someone confirm that I am correct? (ie I think I'm correct but I want to check!)

Tom likes this song and I like it too.
Tom does not like this song and I don't like it either.

Use either for negative sentences.

Could some members confirm if I am correct? (if is good in my opinion :up:)
Yes, you're correct. :)

Cheers!
 
... confirm if I am correct. :tick:
... confirm whether I am correct. :tick:
... confirm whether or not I am correct. :tick: -- 'or not' is superfluous here but there are examples when it is needed
