I had this explained to me. In African cultures/languages negatives don't function as a toggle. More negatives just add emphasis. It isn't a failure in logic, just a change of usage.
So antidisirregardless would mean absolutely without regard to .. to the nth degree.
Unlike here where we take the ir- as erasing the -less.
Yes, but this is English and it's usually a white educated person's mistake so it isn't a carry over from another language, like not nowhow, noway. And bingo, the perpetrator (sorry Kingy it's not a unforgivable sin just a venial one) here is white and educated. Besides, how can something be even more regardless?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
