In my native language, double negations "cancel out". I have been trying to learn English using movies and such things, but double negation confuses me. I see instances when double negation cancels out, and some when they do not.  For example, "I haven't got no money" is interpreted as "I have no money." "There wasn't anyone who didn't enjoy the party" is interpreted as "Everyone enjoyed the party."  Is this context dependent? If so, how does one decide which interpretation is correct?

To my (British) ear, it never sounds correct to say you have a doubt about something.  I expect that doubt to be pluralised, even if there's only one specific thing that I'm doubtful of, in one specific way, so I would always say "I have doubts about something".  Answers to  say that using doubt as a synonym for question is "Indian English". That seems to be the case in  which starts with "I have a doubt on my construction", because the OP really is saying "I have a question" (which he goes on to actually ask). Okay, it should have been a question/doubt about something, not on, but I'm not concerned with that detail here.  But in  the OP says "...there is a doubt that can I use [some construction]". In that case it's not easy to see how the word doubt can be replaced with question.  I don't have a problem with, for example, , because there I interpret it as doubt=uncertainty (a state of mind, syntactically equivalent to words like happiness, agitation, sorrow, etc.). But you certainly can't "have a happiness about something". So my question is...     Is it acceptable today to use singular noun doubt in any contexts where it means something other than state of mental uncertainty? If so, what are those contexts?

With reference to       None of the above sentences is strictly correct.      Neither of the above sentence/sentences is/are strictly correct.    The person has used  are with none. This contradicts above notion of using singular with none. Which is more correct?  The first sentence is perfectly fine, but I'm getting confused from the second sentence. In this sentence, how would we decide about antecedents? Can we use both sentence interchangeably?

Possible Duplicate:          If I'm quoting something someone said and the quote does not have a question mark, but I want to end the sentence with a question mark, would it be     Are you sure she said "Spicy?"   or       Are you sure she said "Spicy"?

Should I use the past tense with did? For example, I was to say:     The important question is: Did they knew what it means or not?   Or should I say:     The important question is: Did they know what it means or not?   In other words: Should I use past tense with did?  I looked at this:    but it didn't really answer my question.

While I was answering a question on ELL, I got confused with a  from a fellow user. After I indicated that:     "Do you have any idea to prove it?'   is grammatically correct, the OP commented that "ideas" should be used in place of "idea".  The comment befuddled me. I thought until now that "any" should be followed by singular noun and not plural. So I searched Google and saw it's a huge debate going on and there is no end to it. I got no perfect and trustworthy source. So I thought to post the question here.  So what is the right rule? Should singular or plural be used after "any"?

As an example, consider the two sentences:     There don't seem to be any doctors here.   and     There doesn't seem to be any doctors here.   To my ear, the first sounds great, and the second is painfully awkward.  So which is correct, grammatically? I've found lots of disagreement on this around the Web, with various sources citing different ways of treating the word "any" (as singular, always, or as either depending on to what it refers). No consensus, however, could I locate.
