When I say, "I don't like milk." Should the person respond "me either" meaning, I don't like milk either? If they respond "me neither" isn't that a double negative?

Thanks and I'm sorry. I'm sure I didn't type that question correctly.

No, they would say me neither. It's not a double negative (because the only negative word is neither).

I think the grammatically correct answer should really be: "neither do I"

No problem, I understand your question! When someone says "I don't like milk," there are two common ways to respond to indicate that you share the same feeling.

1. "Me too": This means that you also don't like milk. It is a short form of saying "I feel the same way as you do." So if someone responds with "Me too," they are saying that they don't like milk either.

2. "Me neither": This is a negative expression and it is used to agree with a negative statement. In this case, it means "I don't like milk either." Although it may seem like a double negative, it is a correct usage common in conversational English.

So to answer your question, if someone responds with "me either," it would be a grammatically incorrect response. However, if the person says "me neither," it would be an appropriate response to indicate that they also don't like milk.
