Ack. It's been pointed out that we have no word for "anybody" in the
dictionary, so double-negs-as-positives is pretty much moot, since we don't
have a good way to get a negative without allowing doubles as negatives.
I'd still rather hear from from the pabpo''a' about this. I spoke without
looking at the available lexicon. Then again, just because we don't have
one doesn't mean there isn't one. Ah, the hassles of not having an
informant!
