Neither as a pronoun Cambridge Dictionary Online says that we can use 'either' as a pronoun: A: Which sweater do you like, the green one or the blue one? B: I don’t like either. (I don’t like the green one and I don’t like the blue one.) link: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/quantifiers/either Here is my question. Can we use 'neither' the same way? For example: A: Which sweater do you like, the green one or the blue one? B: I like neither. (I don’t like the green one and I don’t like the blue one.) For me it feels like "I like neither" is not correct and it should be either "I don't like either" or "I like neither of them" but I am not sure. I coudn't find the answer in Cambridge Dictionary.

A: Which sweater do you like, the green one or the blue one? B: I like neither. (I don’t like the green one and I don’t like the blue one.) This is grammatically correct, but it is much more natural to say "I don't like either."
