Use of "nor" without "neither" and retaining context
Can anyone please clarify the following sentence.
The sentence is taken from Bylaws of a retirement village and the message is meant to convey that residents and /or residents guests are NOT permitted to smoke....
"Residents nor their guests are permitted to smoke in the common areas or communal facilities at the village"
Should the sentence start with "Neither residents nor their guests are permitted to smoke...."
Re: Use of \"nor\" without \"neither\" and retaining context
It's common now a days to use a sentence like this. It should be "neither residents nor their guests are permitted to smoke." But 'neither' is dropped here and is quite common now a days.
