"Neither me nor Carey are conventional people." - Pink, in British Glamour, describing her relationship with her husband, Carey Hart
Pink used an incorrect pronoun and made an error in subject/verb agreement.
The pronoun "me" is in the objective case, but it is used as the subject of the sentence. To correct the sentence, change the case of the pronoun to subjective.
Pink used the correlative conjunctions "neither" and "nor," but she did not follow the rules for determining agreement between the subjects connected by the conjunctions and the verb in the sentence. When two subjects are connected by correlative conjunctions, the subject closer to the verb determines the number of the verb. Consider crossing all the words from "neither" through "nor" to make the identification of the subject easier:
Neither I norCarey are
Since "Carey" is singular and in the third person, the correct form of "to be" is "is." It is conventional to place "I" after another subject in a sentence. Switch the order of the subjects and determine which form of "to be" to use.
Neither Carey norI am
While this construction may sound awkward, it is in fact grammatically correct.
The final problem with this sentence is the use of the plural "people." Since the subject is singular, the predicate nominative should be singular. Change "people" to a singular noun to correct the sentence.
These versions of Pink's statement correct the errors:
"Neither Carey nor I am a conventional person."
or
"Neither I nor Carey is a conventional person."
