Re^4: Untillian Headache or about the semantic of until

I am not sure about Italian, but in Spanish negation does not always sum up. For instance, we say "I don't have no book" instead of "I don't have any book" or "I don't do it never" instead of "I never do it"... but "I never do it" is also correct and have the same meaning!

Interesting. One question. Is that really "I don't do it never"; or could it be "I don't do it ever"? (I know zero Spanish!) With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

Not sure about Spanish, but in Czech, "I don't do it ever" is almost impossible, but "I ever don't do it" means "I do not do it sometimes" :-) لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]
