There's no doubt about the meaning; but I don't think it's a typo -although I've been searching like crazy for a credible reference and gotten nowhere...I believe it's the and/or...neither/or...but I have no proof...other than webster (nor); but...still...I read it as saying: nor = (neither = and/or now) or = (implied nor/neither again) in the future.

Sorry Natalia, I typo'd large for last. Try googling it again with "" then go to the last page on the list of pages appearing at the bottom. You will see what I mean. Google acts weird sometimes.
Natalia Rivera (asker) Feb 9, 2011:
Thanks Bill, but I did type the exact phrase including the "", and got 1.2 million hits. Anyway, with so many "agrees" I am now sure it must be a mistake. Thanks a lot!
Bill Harrison (X) Feb 9, 2011:
Mejor si te explico in English. If you google a number of words you will always get a zillion hits because it looks for the words individually, NOT as a group. You must google "nor or in the future" WITH THE " " to get the exact phrase. This gives 49 hits and from looking at them you can see how common it is to type 'nor' for 'now' as a pure mistake. And then go to the large page of hits. Google acts funny sometimes.
Natalia Rivera (asker) Feb 9, 2011:
Por lo que vi buscando en internet, la frase tal cual aparece en mi documento "NOR or in the future" tiene más de un millón de hits. Eso me confundió porque también pensé que podría tratarse de un error. ¿Qué les parece?

ni ahora ni en el futuro

En el ingles hubiese sido mejor poner 'now' despues de 'nor'. Probablemente un error. No puede significar otra cosa.

No, incorrecto, es un error tipografico - nor debe ser NOW. pero con el significado que digo.
