Grammar
Usage of neither and nor
Hi. Is this correct? I think the underlined clause carries a negative connotation (not sure I phrased my question correctly - the word "connotation" might not be the word I should use.)
He hardly helped with our preparing of the meal, neither/nor did he help with the dishes afterward.
He hardly helped with our preparing of the meal, neither/nor did he help with the dishes afterward.

Yes, you're right. It sounds as if the speaker thinks he should have done more to help. "negative connotation" is OK.
