A linguistics professor was lecturing to his 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," he pointed out, "there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah. Right." :-) Barb Barbara Blake-Krebs (57, dx 1984) [log in to unmask] Merriam, KS, USA (ltr after F is cap "i")
