Is it correct to use ‘or’?

Document is published in Rendering Languages. This document does not cover a SDK interface nor any reference material.

The below is correct, but my grammatical checker in Microsoft Word underlines nor suggests or. Why?

What is the use of a “good” dictionary?

The Grammar Girl and her references to grammar girl correct your original sentence because your direct objects (ie the SDK interfaces, any other reference material) are noun (phrases): When to

Use “Or” instead of “Nor”
These are things that require balance.

In all our examples so far, we’ve used “nor” to indicate a negative state that continues after something else negative happens. “Like an adverb or a noun, you should use or” to continue the negative thought since according to Bryan Garner “the initial negative carries through all the enumerated elements” (5). When you think of not, the structure of not “a” or “b” is correct for example. What would you like to say: “He is not interested in math nor science” would not work. He had to say: “He is not interested in math or science” If, for example, she has done everything but speak slowly or clearly but doesn’t speak clearly; whether she has done it or not rather as written, “She didn’t speak slowly or clearly..she doesn’t speak slowly nor clear” has a better ring to it. Where

to use either/or “#/or/#//#/# Either/#/#/#_/ **/** =/(1)

*/#/#//#/* “* *” If, on the other hand, the second part of the negative is a verb phrase—if a verb clause is not a verb clause, (*//# or#) you can use “nor” or “or” (6). How would you describe Santa Claus: “Santa will not permit naughty behavior or even consider bringing presents.” “Santa will never permit naughty behaviour nor even consider Christmas presents. ” Who is better on every note, but the writer can decide on which one. Which one does its best sound? If you’re unsure which one word to use, or if you want to avoid the problem, you can try saying, “and no” for the second part of the negative (7): “I have no time and no money.” If there’s a’santa will not allow for naughty behavior’, Santa will shut the door, and will not even consider that presents will be brought. How

can I ask people. “

How can I look at Wikipedia? com/Use-Nor It gives a thorough explanation of when to use nor. In your example or is correct because it is connecting two nouns and the negative is established by the not. To use nor is redundant. (See Part 2 #3 website).

If the two options are negative (neither this nor this, neither this or that) then use (name of option) “nor”. Otherwise, use “or”. Your example sentence can be reworded to read, “This document covers neither the SDK interfaces nor any other reference material. The SDK interfaces are based on a Python application which was developed by Java. ”

In my experience Word’s grammar checker is mediocre at best. Why does this phrase suggest a different word in a sentence? It was especially bad with version up to and including 2003, so I just keep it turned on and use thorough proof-reading.
