Anyone feeling the cold war getting colder? Quote

After being tailed for four HOURS, the Russians eventually left British airspace.

The Ministry of Defence stressed that there was no indication that the planes intended to enter British airspace.

Does who ever wrote this article bother to read his own copy?Yeah it is a rather double negative.. Quote from: Mulreay on March 25, 2010, 08:35:01 PM

Yeah it is a rather double negative..

It ain't no double negative.

"They trailed them in British airspace but there was no indication they would enter British airspace?"They did not intend to enter it but they did, accidentally. In other words, it was not an intentionally aggressive act. Get it? Quote from: JJ 3000 on March 25, 2010, 10:44:10 PM

Yes I understand.

The expression "It ain't no double negative." is also a double negative.

So "It ain't no double negative" actually means : It is a double negative.

Most of the class does not understand what a double negative is.

Example from the web:

"Definitions of double negative on the Web:

an affirmative constructed from two negatives; "A not unwelcome outcome"
a grammatically substandard but emphatic negative; "I don't never go"
