You dont gotta explain yourself for nobody
They don’t gotta never not explain themselves for nobody
🤔
Don't = -1
Never = -1
Not = -1
-1 * -1 * -1 = -1
~ They don't have to explain themselves for nobody.
So it's the same comment.
Let me know if I have made a mistake.
Nobody is a negation (not anybody). So they do have to explain themselves to somebody
Formally yes, but I believe that's an (American English?) informal way of speaking where "nobody" actually means "anybody". Similarly to how "I don't need no man" means "I don't need any man".
Of course, but I don't never need to be told nothing like that from nobody when I'm commenting in a pedantic language thread! /s
With how much communities can quickly become echo chambers, even more on community with strong opinions, there's always going to be that one person that takes offence.
So better be safe than having to proactively explain.
That's kind of the point. If someone is offended by something, fuck 'em.
You don't have to explain yourself for nobody.
