OT Grammar experts: which is correct?

In this phrase, which is the correct answer?
"I'm not a picky eater."
"Me either."
"Me neither."
I say "neither", but I have heard enough people say "either" to wonder if I'm saying it wrong. What say you?
"I'm not a picky eater."
"Me either."
"Me neither."
I say "neither", but I have heard enough people say "either" to wonder if I'm saying it wrong. What say you?

I would go with neither... b/c 'not' and 'neither' are both negative

Me either is correct.
You would say neither do/am I or me either.
You would say neither do/am I or me either.

Neither am I.

Several unnecessary pages of discussion to ensue.
The answer is "Me neither," which is short for "Neither am I" in this context.

If "not" is stated, use either. If "not" is not stated, use neither.
Just say "Neither am/do I" to avoid all of this confusion.

My responses would be:
"I'm not either"
or
"Neither am I"
Or more likely, "I am"
"I'm not either"
or
"Neither am I"
Or more likely, "I am"

Close. In the phrase "Me, either" in this usage the 'not' is implied ("Not me, either").

But do you pronounce it "neather" or "Niether"?
