Gosh, look at the time - I almost slept past five o'clock!

Non-Alec, on the other hand, is still asleep. Fast aleep.  Snoring, but in the quietest way possible.

Non-Alec suffers from neither indigestion, insomnia or hay fever.

He never misuses "neither", either.  Neither "neither" or "either", he will tell you, can apply to more than two alternativies, one or two.  Of course (non Alec will add) there cannot be more - or less - than two alternatives.  Either.

In fact, Non-Alec is a pedant.  At school he collected butterflies.  I think you would find him dull.
