What the Cat Dragged In

As has already been pointed out, the not-not double negative cancels itself out, leaving us to work out what the sentence doesn't say...

OK, double-negatives cancel out, giving us:

"I object to your reverse argument of the fact that no-one cannot truly not know those that raised them."

I assume a "reverse argument" is an argument against a point, and if no-one cannot, then everyone can, so...

"I disagree with you when you disagree with the fact that everyone can truly not know those that raised them."

To disagree with a disagreement, is to agree with the original point, so...

"I think that everyone can truly not know those that raised them."

So, to answer the original question, the sentence doesn't not not say that the speaker does not agree that everyone can truly not know those that raised them.

Of course, you could just be lazy and say that it doesn't not not say something other than the original quote, but that would be cheating. :)

DexX raises a hand.
Have I mentioned I am a linguist-in-training?

DexX ponders the idea of kinky linguistic sex...

"I need you so baaaad..."
"Bad_LY_, you bad girl. Bad is an adjective, and needs the -ly suffix to become an adverb. Bad girl!"
"Yes! Yes! Correct me! Correct me!"

It's not a case of simple arousal. It is more accurate to describe Gabe's feelings towards me as "a deep, burning, all-encompassing passion that burns hotter than a thousand suns." At least that's what the valentine that he sent me said...

[quote]And being black/Irish, I could drink you under the table any day, sassenach. [quote]

I believe I should state that 'sassenach, (a swear word meaning 'Englishman,') is Gaelic, meaning it is Scottish, not Irish.

Incidentally, since NeoVid is both Irish and black, he is obviously an alcoholic.

Jesus, is everyone here Irish? You fucking lushes. Go Erin Go Braugh yourselves, you pudwackers.

By the way, I'm like 75% Irish and 25% German, and two ethnicities associated with drinking more I do not know. Which means I could drink any combination of two of you under the table. Trust me. Drinking and bobbing for apples in the toilet (I think they're apples) are my two gifts.

And DexX, I have a homegame coming out for those who do not not enjoy canceling negatives, so send me $39.99, and it's yours. But, wait, that's not all. If you act now, you can also get a complimentary Webster's Dictionary. Order now!
