Double Positives?
« on: August 13, 2013, 10:40:17 am »
A professor was giving a lecture on the use of languages. He said, "All languages have positive words and phrases and negative words and phrases. In the U.S., if you use two negatives, or a double negative, it generally makes a statement positive. But no language has a group of positive words or phrases that have a negative meaning."

A young man in the back of the class then mutters, "Yeah, right!"

It's all a case of "Mind over Matter",  The Government don't Mind, and I don't Matter.
