Which is correct either is or either are?

In informal usage, the pronoun either may refer to one of two things or to both things at once, and accordingly take a singular verb (either is ) or a plural verb (either are ). The plural verb is common when either is followed by the preposition of in speech (e.g., either of these, either of them).
