A sharp former Georgia attorney has found Young Thug's terms of probation and, with its typical attention to detail, Fulton requires him to have guns and do crimes

I remember a YouTube video or short sometime talking about this specific construction, and how in standard English the double negative becomes a positive, but in AAVE, the double negative is just a reinforced negative.
Look forward to the DA’s office arguing for the AAVE construction in court.
If that's a youtube creator, possibly? I saw the video probably years ago now, and I only really remember the facts taught, rather than anything else. Be happy to give credit if I could find it, but I can't.
That’s not the one I’d seen before - the one I saw was shorter and just about the double negative. I wonder if it might be the video he references in that section that I’m guessing used to be linked but isn’t there.
Anyway, thanks for the awesome video link - I love a new aspect to dive into.
and we're doing our best to round up the brown folks as fast as possible, but frankly the forced labor prisons aren't being built as fast as we thought, ALREADY CALLED @corecivic.bsky.social they're busy in Louisiana...
"verbally" can refer to spoken communication as opposed to written. you can "say" things online, but you're not saying them with your mouth. many people speak differently when they say things, verbally, with their mouths, than they would in writing. i mean that the context of spoken communication
would be a context clue which would lead you to comprehend a double negative as someone's dialect, rather than in writing, where people often make typos
& i don't think someone would say, verbally, with their mouths, like 👄, like talking with your mouth?
ok i love you guys for picking up on my post and such, but i was just making a very silly reference to a very thoroughly white british psychedelic group from 50 years ago and double negatives are a feature of languages all across the globe, and there's really not much need for arguments about this

Aren't things like this required to be found in the favor of the weaker party?

double negative is not positive, it's emphasis?
Everyone is just jelly of #Georgia GLIZZYS... 🌭🌭

That can't be easy.

The question is whether it is appropriate in a legal document.
this is just absentmindedness and lack of proofreading, not a dialect thing
Why do you think someone would say verbally (sic) "you can't have no guns" if it isn't a "dialect thing?"
BTW unless you're referring to this in the context of, for example, sign language vs the spoken word, to 'say verbally' is redundant.

Please excuse, carry on xo
