You would be understood, I suppose, but it remains an odd thing to say.

Hi,

'Either' is a non-assertive word. These words typically co-occur with negated words, such as no/not. 'As well' is called 'assertive' and typically occurs in declarative sentences.

Assertive > I want to go as well.
Non-assertive > I do not want to go either.

This is a steady grammar rule, and it means that 'I don't

All the teachers always use correct capitalization in their replies.

Usually the language of chat rooms is "SMS" coded. That is far from the grammatically correct English that school teachers require of their students and businesses require of their professional employees.
