Grammar
Pronouns in negative sentences
Which are correct?
I am talking about two people I don't like
I don't like both of them (I have a feeling that BOTH is used only in positive sentences, am I right?)
I don't like either of them.
I like neither of them. (Actually my questions is what is the alternative for this sentence. In speech I am most likely to start sentence with "I don't like" so I don't wanna rephrase my sentence to this one with NEITHER.)
I don't like her and him.
I don't like her or him.
Last two sentences made me a bit confused, can conjunction AND be used in negative sentences
