- richrichardsson 4y agoI think you would have avoided all the downvotes with, "Double negatives are very much an English language thing and are commonly used in every day language", since American and British English both involve double negatives in colloquial usage.
- comprev 4y agoI only know a handful of Americans and we often talk about the differences in our language. Even had an Australian join the conversation once too and it was a very interesting discussion. The use of double negatives stood out as something more commonly used in British English however I accept it was a very small sample size!
