I learned to use "or not" but I hear "or no" a lot. I feel irritated and want to correct them, but I need to know for sure.

"Are you going" is sufficient or not/or no is tacit in the question.

its or not.
What you learn to be correct in school isnt what is practiced. Also sayings differ depending on geography.

People say "or no" just to make it shorter, proper manners are "Or Not?"

"Or not" is correct.
In Scotland "no'" is short for "not" so we say "or no'?"
