Came across some important grammar rules that we should all know:
1. Don’t use no double negatives.
2. Make each pronoun agree with their antecedents.
3. Join clauses good, like a conjunction should.
4. About them sentence fragments.
5. When dangling, watch your participles.
6. Verbs has got to agree with their subjects.
7. Just between you and I, case is important.
8. Don’t use commas, which aren’t necessary.
9. Try to not ever split infinitives.
10. It is important to use your apostrophe’s correctly.
11. Proofread your writing to see if you any words out.
12. Correct spelling is essentual.

We should all be quite appreciative of the no double negative rule in the English language, having quickly looked it up on Wiki just then and found out that in Slavic languages, it is commonly employed, For example: "Niko nikada nigde ništa nije uradio" (Serbian). Direct translation; "Nobody never nowhere nothing did not do". Meaning; nobody has ever done anything, anywhere.
And Bulgarian: Никога никакви чувства не съм имала! - direct translation: "I have not never had no feelings!" (I have never had any feelings).

don't want to be a latin nerd and spoil the party but there's also double negs in latin - which is called litotes and commonly employed for emphasis/linguistic effect. whatever that means.
