And no religion too (either)

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Every time I'm subjected to John Lennon's hippy ANTHEM Imagine, it always grates when when he warbles "...and no religion too..."

Correct me if I'm WRONG, but a "No A and no B" negative sentence requires an EITHER at the end, and not a TOO, does it not?

Was Lenno too busy taking DRUGS, shagging YOKO and crooning on about WORLD PEACE to check his grammar? Or am I WRONG?

 

[Trufflehound]

Or am I WRONG?

Too you are or Lennon was.

Imagine there's no countries.

It isn't hard to do.

Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too.

Makes grammatical sense to me.

Imagine there's no countries.

Is wrong too...it should be Imagine there are no countries

That's John Lennon for you; great at taking drugs and shagging Japanese artists, lousy at grammar

 

[MattBackHome]

But 'either' means one or the other - surely 'neither' (none of the above) would be better?

Imagine there are no countries.

It isn't hard to do.

Nothing to kill or die for.

Nor religion.

Imagine there is no countries.

Makes grammatical sense to me.

Hmmm.............
