you mean people who don't not use correct grammer?Originally Posted by JaWiB
» In today's standard English, double negatives are not used; for example the standard English equivalent of "I don't want nothing" is "I don't want anything".
It should, however, be noted that in standard English one cannot say "I don't want nothing" to express the meaning "I want something" unless there is very heavy stress on the "don't".
P.S. Just having fun. No beleaguerment intended.

Segmentation Fault: I am an error in which a running program attempts to access memory not allocated to it and core dumps with a segmentation violation error. This is often caused by improper usage of pointers, attempts to access a non-existent or read-only physical memory address, re-use of memory if freed within the same scope, de-referencing a null pointer, or (in C) inadvertently using a non-pointer variable as a pointer.
Wha-who? Beleaguerment? What'd you just call me?
EDIT: My dictionary says it's some kind of insult...put up yer dukes!

Have I crossed the line?
In this particular case the word beleaguerment is used as the following:
To annoy persistently, trouble, or harass.
Since I corrected Perspective of his grammar, I wanted to inform him that I am not annoying or harassing him, rather it was just a joke.
Edit: Zach, thanks!

but if you saw the post i quoted it might make more sense as to why my grammer in that post was anti-good.
