I attended a lecture by Chomsky in the 70′s at Glasgow University on the “Mathematical structure of the English Language”. The great man’s credibility was blown apart about half way through the lecture when he declared that the one ironic feature of the English language that amused him was that two negatives made a positive and that there was not a single example of two positives making a negative.
Voice from the back of the hall “Aye, right”!
