These kind of threads are great since even if you spell wrong you can just say "duh I was kidding" and roll your eyes like this: while you in reality are like:

...except when you say something so blatantly moronic that it's obvious that you were kidding.
if people can't spell, then their not paying attention in school.
if you had to pick, would you rather be a winner or a looser?
did you here what i said?
yes...i'm writing a chemistry paper and i'm clearly not focusing on it

The whole "two negatives make a positive" argument is deeply flawed.
Languages don't necessarily work like that. Think of it in
mathematical terms:
A. (-1) x (-1) = 1
B. (-1) + (-1) = -2
When one uses double negatives, (s)he's using the "B" way of thinking.
I can't avoid using double negatives in my mother language, and
neither could Aristotle, Plato and all these first logicians, whose
logic was far more important than that of so called "Grammarians".
b/c its not math... this is english and it aint dont not work in this language...
which btw.. the whole use of "ain't"... those people should be smacked... and those people who say "let me axe you a question" <-- thats more of their ignorance of pronounciation than spelling
fyi-- im not racial in any way... 100% not, but that occurance of pronouncing "ask" as "axe" tends to be racially specific which annoys the hell out of me
