Linguistic subtoot

Most languages, including English, frequently use linguistic repetition for emphasis. Really truly yes they do! And repetition for emphasis works with all sorts of concepts, including negation. Unless you are speaking predicate calculus instead of English:
A single negative means “No.”
A double negative means “Nope never.”
A triple negative means “No-way-in-hell not never!”
