All the double negatives cause me to feel snobish.

"I can't see nothing!"

@JimboSaturn One of the negatives in a double negative is usually just an intensifier despite what the MIT professor in the following quote is reputed to have said. It's double positives that you have to watch out for

An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
