For example:
It is a popular activity for the people of Britain to use Double negatives, when in fact this contradicts their desired meanings
"I didn't do nothing"
When people use this to deny that they did something. They are incorrect, as logic shows that double negatives make a positive.
If I didn’t do nothing, that eliminates 'nothing' as an activity, that leaves 'something' and 'everything'. So this sentence conveys that the person did in fact do something.
"I did nothing"
Is the logically correct way create the denial.

well, that's only "incorrect" based on a certain system of rules. language isn't math. two negatives do not equal a logical fallacy if a particular dialect recognizes double negatives as an idiomatically valid means of indicating negativity. the logically "correct" way of saying "i hit a home run" is to say "i struck the baseball with such extreme force that it left the field of play, and i was able to round the bases and touch home plate without the threat of the opposing team's fielders retrieving the ball and tagging me out." but that's a pain in the ass, so we use an idiom: home run. just as "home run" can mean what i typed above, "i didn't do nothing" can mean "i did nothing," as long as the person you say it to recognizes that particular linguistic construction as a valid way of indicating negativity. the only reason we accept certain "illogical" constructions (like "home run") as valid ways of saying something completely different than what they actually mean, and reject other "illogical" constructions (like double negatives) is that we have been conditioned to do so. you can use "home run" in a university paper and it doesn't get marked wrong. you can't use a double negative in a university paper without getting it marked wrong. neither idiom means what it says, but one is "correct" and one is "incorrect." why? because of class and politics and all the social confilct i'm always on about. in short, language violates the rules of logic all the time, but we only pick on certain instances of these illogical constructions. and that sucks sometimes.

No, It wasn't my intention to "get on the "lets get badboy, we dont like him" band wagon." But what I was trying to say is, that If we just all talk in regular english, the most of us will understand it. I have nothing against Badboy...
