	§ 26. either. 1. Grammar. The American Heritage Book of English Usage. 1996
		When using either as a conjunction, you can apply it to more than two elements in a series: She left her glove either at the convenience store, the library, or the playground.
		But when either is followed by of and a plural noun, it is often used with a plural verb: Either of the parties have enough support to form a government.
		When all the elements in an either … or construction (or a neither … nor construction) used as the subject of a sentence are singular, the verb is singular: Either Eve or Herb has been invited.

		We met either in some public place or at my hotel, where I entertained him as freely as I might without appearing to be prompted by charity.
		They were covered from head to foot with mud, and their faces were bleeding either from having been kicked or from the stones; they looked like corpses, but the crowd was so dense that I got only a few momentary glimpses of the wretched creatures.
		His eyes had the brightness of fever, there was a hectic flush upon either cheek, and dark crusts clung to his lips; the thin hands upon the coverlet twitched incessantly, his voice was croaking and spasmodic.

	either, either … or. The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. 1993 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Either (pronounced EE-thuhr or EI-thuhr) as adjective or pronoun) is Standard as a substitute for each, usually used for one of two persons or things: You know my parents; either [either one] would make an excellent director.

	Steve Jackson Games Forums - Using "Either/Or" limitations
		Normally I don't post it when I update my site, but I think this might be helpful for a lot of people -- especially those who, unlike me, spend their evenings doing something besides playing around with the calculations in GURPS to see if there's a better way to do something.
		When an ability is designed so it can be affected by either one limitation or an alternate limitation, multiply the percentage values of both limitations together to arrive at a final value.
		His ability is much more versatile than if he'd taken either of those limitations by themselves, and the value reflects that.

		Below is a short sample of the essay "Does Criminal law consistently follow either an ‘objectivist’ or a ‘subjectivist’ approach to liability?".
		Similarly, it would be inconceivable to apply an objectivist approach to intention, for it is the defendant's state of mind that has to be ascertained, for the jury to infer intention.
		The defendant was a schizophrenic, his counsel arguing that this curbed his ability of being able to forsee any consequent damage.

		My own choice would lie almost always with "each" instead of "either." Something is gained for clarity by describing trees "along each side" of a street, or wealthy relatives "on each side" of the family, or prevailing winds "on each side" of the equator.
		Buses that run "on either side of the river" might run sometimes on the left bank of the river and sometimes on the right, but if the buses run "on each side" of the river, you know where to miss them.

		As we explain in the section on options, whenever you are presented with two possibilities, it is crucial to establish whether those possibilities are contradictions, contraries, or choices.
		This fallacy is also known as the "either-or fallacy" because it makes you think that your options are limited to either one or the other.
		The speaker is assuming that their are only two kinds of people who voted for the proposition: those who didn't understand it, and those who don't care.

	Dales' Electoral College Breakdown 2004: Pennsylvania (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Normally when I see a registered voter survey with the Democrat ahead by two points, I assume that means that the Republican is either tied or slightly ahead, since historically the difference between registered voter polls and election day results ends up being between 3-5 points.
		As such, either something unprecedented is happening in Pennsylvania to the benefit of the Kerry campaign, or this is a sample which is a bit overly optimistic for him.
		Earlier polls showed him doing better than that, and Pennsylvania is a state which has been winnable by either party for quite some time (as shown by it having two Republican senators while having gone Democrat the last three elections).

	Fazio won't back either D.A. hopeful (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Hallinan and Harris asked for Fazio's backing for its potential to sway the 30 percent of voters -- much of them concentrated in wealthier and relatively conservative areas of town -- who backed the defense lawyer and former prosecutor in the Nov. 4 general election.
		He said speculation he was entertaining going to work in the district attorney's office under Hallinan as part of a deal to give him his endorsement was off the mark.
		Harris' campaign manager, Jim Stearns, said he doesn't draw conclusions from automated polls either, but believes the results reflect that Harris has focused voters' attention on Hallinan's inability to run an efficient and effective district attorney's office.
