Like the simplistic statement that "a double negative makes a positive" because -(-x)=x in algebra, like anything true of a mathematical minus sign must also apply to any English word classed as a "negative". Or people who take the technical definition of a word like "work" or "energy" from physics and try to apply it to the ordinary English words. Etc. </rant> | |
