I would like to see less double-negatives in headlines.
Yes, but needed in this case. “Declines to block” is very different from “approves” even if the end result is the same.
I don’t disagree with you
🧐
“Declines to block” is not a double-negative though.
Well, let me check. Here it is. It IS in MY book.
Yes, I was suggesting that you, your book, or whatever, is mistaken. It’s not a double-negative. It’s just two words with negative word charges. They do not contradict one another’s meaning in the binary relationship of true and false.
No truer words weren’t never spoken.
I understand the English council has made a decision. But given that it’s a stupid ass decision, I’ve elected to ignore it.
You are correct, but it reads double negative to me, lol
It’s even more fun when you get appeals involved.
OH, damn, I came in here all angry haha
Fewer
This bothers me as well. Fewer is for quantities. Less is for unquantifiable things. E.g. I need less water and fewer sprinklers for my garden.
edit: expanding on this, you can always think about it like, I don’t have five waters (unless you’re in a restaurant?), but I can have five sprinklers.
I told you not to call me that in public.
