Know your English

Is it OK to say "Me neither"?

When somebody says "I don't like idlis" and you wish to agree with him or her, your normal response is "I don't either" or "Neither do I". These are the kind of responses one finds in grammar books; they are considered to be grammatically acceptable. But more often than not, when people are talking, they tend to say "Me neither". Such a response is acceptable in speech, especially in informal contexts.
