is this comma needed in front of this "either"?
The word "either" sometimes has the opposite meaning of "too", for example:
I want a coke, too.
I don't want a coke either.
My question is about the comma before too and either. I looked up my dictionary and found there's almost always a comma before too; however, there's no comma in front of either. Could you tell me should we need to put a comma in front of either? And is it possible to leave out the comma in front of too? Please give me your opinion, thank you!Top answer
I’m citing a few dictionary examples below to show that not every sentence ending in ‘too’ has to have a comma before it and in fact, most of them (80%) do not: I am too! He's coming along too. He has a Mercedes, too.
