Grammar

nor / or -- let me confirm^^

This message should not be printed or transfered.

You can't use 'nor' instead of 'or' in this case, because it can't be rewritten in the 'neither... nor' form, right?

Thanks

Yes, you can use 'nor' in that case though more often people just say 'or'. nor'. ' It's a bit bureaucratic sounding.

You could re-write it as 'neither...nor'.

'This message should neither be printed nor transfered.' It's a bit bureaucratic sounding.

Grammartically, either way is okay in my sentence?

This message should not be printed or/nor transfered.

You can either say not/or OR neither/ nor. You cannot grammatically use not and nor OR neither and or.
