In response to Re Never Never Never blame the Brits (John O'Shei)

Cannot find nothing. That's an interesting double negative, I guess that means that they must
be successfully managing to find something.

I don't know whether these wumaos are picking up such terrible grammar because they are
native Chinglish speakers or because foreign teachers of the shittier variety taught
them previously.

doubled negatives intensify the negation. Wikipedia.com
