This question is answered by the post? There is reportedly actually no way of stopping it happen. Perhaps the poster had a brain fart while typing it. Maybe they speak a different dialect of English from you.
- echelon_musk 4mo agoThere's no dialect of English in which this is correct.
- tom_ 4mo agoThat could be true, but I don't think I'd bet on it myself.
- antonvs 4mo agoGood call. The original comment is making fun of the incorrect double negative. “Without no way” means there is a way.
- tom_ 4mo agoMany kinds of double negative are acceptable in many English dialects, and are interpreted as emphasis. The negatives add, rather than multiply. (Though I admit I myself don't speak such a dialect, hence the equivocation.)
- antonvs 4mo agoThis particular instance is not valid in normal English.
- tomjakubowski 4mo agoShakespeare himself uses the double negative for emphasis, FFS. It never was, nor never will be incorrect.
- antonvs 4mo agoIt's not incorrect in general, but in this particular case, it certainly is. Do you need me to explain why?
- badc0ffee 4mo agoAin't no way.
