oi, missus, we have essays just like you do. ok ours are shorter, but we have more of them!

Oi missus, we don't have essays just like you do. We have projects but must longer.

i never said you didn't!

That sentence is clearly a double negative... em... applying the rules of algebra we have...
I said you did.

I'm sure that's not how it meant.

it's not a double negative because the sentence is reported speech and can count as two clauses:

1. i didn't say this:
2. you didn't

that's made me late for my lecture.

by the law of algebra I did -( say you did -(something)). Open the brackets, you have "I did say you did.

That sentence is clearly a double negative... em... applying the rules of algebra we have...

I'm sure that's not how it meant.

That last sentence is clearly an example of gobbledegook.

"I never said you didn't" is different in meaning from "I said you did".

ooo shuai i've discovered a most marvelous proof for "for All x = {camford posts} show that x € nonsense"..... and it isnt exhaustive like yours!

y = Camfords signiture € x for all x

hence to prove all x € nonsense it is sufficient to show that y € nonsense

but [[y]] = true in the model of nonsense

hence y = nonsense is valid for all models

hence all camfords posts form a subset of nonsense

hence all camfords posts form a subset of nonsense

Unless he turns off his signature, in which case you need a more general proof.

Hey, my sig did not come out my head ok? Therefore Camford's sig is not a member of Camford's nonsense.

nothing to do with Feynman is nonsense!

*sniff* (my sig is a Richard Feynman quotation) *sniff*

i think the idea was to post them up here...
