Same here. My mom had excellent grammar, and I picked it up from her. As a result, I never learned the rules. I could talk good without them. I would say "Neither Barry nor I are going to agree to that," or "neither Barry nor I am inclined to agree." To me, neither/nor is treated like either/or, and verbs after "or" take the case of the closest noun, or whatever you call it. (Dave Barry's Mr. Language Person might call it a Nominative Predilection.)
