A Lecture about English

[teigra_kefira]

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his English class one day. "In English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

He's right- a double negative in russian is still a negative--and every time I used one, it sounded weird.

"I don't have nothing" LOL!

well, I never was the grammar queen. What are you studying?
