Thanks to all of your who have responded. If you haven't recieved rep yet, it will have to wait untill tomorrow. I seem to have given out to much in the past 24 hours. The paper isn't due for another week, but I have to give a quick presentation on the survey tomorrow. So I needed to know what most people thought about it.

Thanks again to everyone who responded so far. The survey isn't to great, but it shows that most people understand double negatives, and how they can be used in a literary sense on rare occasions.

My spelling is horrible right now, I'm out of it.
