Gorilla or elephant?

I was thinking more along the lines of:

"Supposably that rope wasn't real taut neither."

No that's what I meant. That's the original purpose of double negatives! It's strengthening the fact that the rope isn't taunt
As "country" as it sounds (and I have to admit it sounds a bit uneducated to me too), that's the more correct usage, if history is your guide.

And Makeitstop, I don't agree 100% with what you've said but I do hate it when people say "It's just a matter of semantics!" Just semantics? Just the actual meaning of the word?

Crap... Thanks for pointing that out! I actually meant to use "taunt."

Oh well, I guess my brain corrected it before I even put to print. (type? screen? cyberspace?)

Semantics, as everyone knows, is a company that makes software utilities!

There's another wonderful invention of the modern world: Stupid company names which are deliberately spelled incorrectly. I guess it's katchy.
