how many negatives make a positive?

don't we not need to not need to not use too much negation to not make a non-positive statement?

some people get confused because they read into it. it's easy ** don't read, just count! ** you only need one pair of negatives to make a positive which you can then repeat endlessly. so if you have to find out if a long statement using only negatives is positive all you have to determine is whether the number of negations is odd or even, if it's even it's positive, if it's odd it's negative.
