A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. In some languages though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However," he pointed out, "there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up "Yeah, right."

ReplyDeleteHey, speaking of grammar, can you recommend a good writing format reference book. As in the manuscript needs to be double-spaced, dialogue should be indented 1 inch from the right margin, etc.
Thanks!
