Hello,

Is ‘either or’ an English expression?

Either I come up to you or you can come down here. Either or is fine with me.

I’m guessing it’s another Manglish expression and I’m afraid I use it quite often, but I want to be sure.

Thanks.

Hi Nina

In informal conversation, I have heard people respond to suggested alternatives simply by saying “Either or”. People also say this:

“Either way is fine with me.”

Okay, but from your response I am assuming it is not that popular. Thanks again.

Hi Nina

I guess I would expect it mainly when ‘either’ was not used in the first sentence. I wouldn’t say it is uncommon, but simply using the word ‘either’ is definitely more common:

“Either would be fine with me.”

Hmm, this sounds logically natural. I hope I notice it in the future. Thanks,Amy.
