Why BOTH is a plural while NEITHER is a singular?
Thank you for coming.
A few days ago I watched an online video on how to use Both, Either and Neither. My curiosity has occurred when it came to an example. I noticed that when using Both, it use as a plural - which is fine by me since it talks about two things/people. However, when it comes to Neither, it's treated as a singular. So, why this that since Both and Neither mention two out of two things?
Both - for example: Both Mari and Anna come to a party. = This two come to a party.
Neither - for example: Neither Mari nor Anna comes to a party. = This two doesn't come to a party.

White vs. Blue Collar Jobs - What do these mean and how to use?
Hi guys. There's a question came up to me while had been reading a "Are educated people valuable than the ones who are skilled" (https://www.italki.com/discussion/118573) topic, posted by Haleema in a discussion section. J.RĂos, who left both comment in the section and curiosity to me, mentioned about White and Blue collar jobs. These two I neither familiar nor making myself understand. What're the mean of these? And, how to use its?
