I don't know of any language where two negatives make a negative. I know of languages that have distributed
negatives, e.g., "Je ne parle pas Français." in French. AFAIK it would be incorrect to omit either
"ne" or "pas" from that sentence; you need both.

In English (unlike most languages), two negatives make a positive. ("Yeah,
right.") So when the girl says "I don't want nothing to do with you, no
how, no way", to an English professor she means "yes". This may explain why
English professors are so cautious.
