    Depends on the dialect. For example in AAVE double negatives don’t negate (iirc).

      It’s contextual, just like in all other forms of English.

      The “no double negatives” rule is a fake standard that stuffy Romeaboos tried to tack on to the language, just like they did with not ending sentences with prepositions.

      So the next time someone tries to correct a double negative, or tells you not to end a sentence with a preposition, call them a neofascist and punch them in the face.
