Either
1 You may write the letter in French or English.
2. You may write the letter either in French or English.
I know both of the above sentences are fine.
As I know the person's ability of writing both French and English, I am free to use both sentences.
My question is on the second sentence.
What is the necessity of inserting the word 'either' ?
I guess it just emphasize the fact that you are free to write in one of the languages.
I am not sure.
Your thoughts are welcome.

Thanks Marius
So my guess was correct to a certain extent.
I remember you very well. You rectified a common mistake I made when writing the word 'would'. What you told me is engraved in my memory.
