Re: Double Positives

I agreed, 
   
  Double negative is sometimes used in very informal speech.
   
  Regarding your sentence, I would prefer to say ?I see nothing" there is more 
simple and clear.

You are right. In standard English a double negative is not correct, whereas in 
Spanish and Russian, double negatives ARE correct.

Bruce, many thanks
Gonzalo, Gracias...
One more question :
Is double negative sentence is gramatically correct?
Such as in the followings :
' I don't see nothing' ? 
shouldn't is just ' I don't see anything'?

with regards,
