- Either of us vs. Both of us - WordReference Forums
They are still individuals However " than either of us would like" is a common phrase "Both of us would like" suggests something more concrete, and when used with a verb it would be for a specific activity, not just spending time together: "Both of us would like to go to Ibiza" or "both of us would like to learn to waltz"
- by either vs. either by | WordReference Forums
I've looked over the Internet and haven't found any rule on how or when to use either by and by either I'd like your opinion on this Both seem widely used Here's how I'd use them: 1- You can do this by either jumping or climbing 2- You can do this either by jumping or (by) climbing The repetition of by in the first example seems

- either of you vs both of you vs one of you two - WordReference Forums
The meaning of 'either' is harrasing me I heard 'either' means 'the one or the other' and sometimes 'both' Which does the following 'either' mean between 1 and 2?
