I cannot stand it when people speak in double negatives. It neither is intelligent nor comprehensible. Take for instance, this quote I was reading from MSNBC on the school shooting in Cleveland yesterday:
He’s crazy. He threatened to blow up our school. He threatened to stab everybody. We didn’t think nothing of it. -Doneisha LeVert
What the hell is that supposed to mean? We thought of it? We didn't think nothing of it? I can't comprehend... my brain... is going to ... EXPLODE!
So please, when speaking, or writing for that matter, just say what you mean. Because if you don't got no speaking skills - we'll, you'd just be plain lying.
