Did people miss my post? Multiple negatives are an aspect of English and have been for centuries. The only people who disagree with this were some people a little while ago who decided that English should be more like formal logic and Latin, and insisted upon change. Plenty of dialects still use multiple negatives without anyone getting confused about what is being said. The restriction against multiple negatves is an artificial imposition on English and one that is entirely pointless.
