[milo]

nor (nɔr; unstressed nər)

conj.
1. (used in negative phrases, esp. after neither, to introduce the second member in a series, or any subsequent member): Neither he nor I will be there. They won't wait for you, nor for me, nor for anybody.
2. (used to continue the force of a negative, as not, no, never, etc., occurring in a preceding clause): I never saw him again, nor did I regret it.

It is only required when paired with neither btw.

That is, of course, the last thing I would be worried about here.
Thanks for the attention though.

Oh yes, of COURSE!
You are too too welcome:
2. (used to continue the force of a negative, as not, no, never, etc., occurring in a preceding clause): I never saw him again, nor did I regret it.

In all our examples so far, we’ve used “nor” to indicate a negative state that continues after something else negative happens. However, when the second negative item is a noun, adjective, or adverb phrase (4), you should use “or” to continue the negative thought because according to Bryan Garner “the initial negative carries through to all the enumerated elements” (5). For example, when you use the word “not,” the structure “not A or B” is correct. You’d have to say, “He is not interested in math or science”; “He is not interested in math nor science” won’t work. Likewise, “She didn’t speak slowly or clearly” has a better ring to it than “She didn’t speak slowly nor clearly.”
