Don't go anywhere vs don't go nowhere QUESTION: Which one of these two sentences is correct? 1. Don't go anywhere 2. Don't go nowhere ANSWER "Don't go nowhere" is a double negative. In math, when you multiply two negative numbers, it equals a positive. The same thing applies in grammar. When you have two negatives in a sentence, it gives you a positive. When you say "don't go nowhere" it is the same as saying "do go somewhere." The first sentence is grammatically correct (i.e Don't go anywhere). 'Do not' is negative and 'anywhere' is positive. A statement that also means the same thing is: do go nowhere. http://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/3614-dont-go-anywhere-vs-dont-go-nowhere/ lalasticlala, Ishilove 2 Likes |

Since time immemorial I know the second should not be right, but the fact that most top presenters frequently use it has really gotten me pondered. 1 Like |

The 'don't go nowhere' seems like an American English. Not necessarily wrong. |
