I told Bill Withers, β€œAin’t No Sunshine is a double negative. That’s bad grammar.”

He said, β€œI know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know...”

You shouldn’t speak with double negatives.

You’ll get tied up in nots.

Professor told a joke worthy of this subreddit today.

In my computer science course, my very old professor busts this out during a discussion of logic:

"I went to a logic conference once, and the lecturer said, 'it's interesting that a double negative gives you a positive, isn't it? I mean, a double positive doesn't give you a negative.'

Someone from the back of the room scoffed and went, 'yeah, yeah.'"

Half the class chuckled, half the class groaned.

In grammar you shouldn’t do double negatives.

It’s a no no.
