There's a story about someone presenting a paper on
linguistics and making the point that whereas, two
negatives can be used to create a positive or to
create an emphatic negative, there was no example in
language where two positives were used to create a
negative.

To which someone in the audience responded, "Yeah,
yeah."

As to Mr. OAbdiel, who seems to believe all usage
different but equal, I wonder how he'd feel in court
if his lawyer pled to the judge that-- 

"Poor Abdiel, he no have no way to get home,
meeahmore."
