Steve: "there's no such thing as a double positive implying a negative" Me: "Yeah, sure!"

Also, "Aint misbehavin'" quoted several times as meaning being good. Wrong! If you're dead you ain't misbehavin, but you ain't being good either. A double negative does not necessarily connote a positive

Interesting subject matter though.

Not folk, but modern, How about Pink Floyds "The Wall": ? "We don't need no education" 'no' is being used for emphasis, but from the mangling of the English language, education is certainly lacking.

Apologies for any strange spellings, but English is my first language!
