It doesn't bother me so much when it's little kids, since they can be excused for not knowing better, but it really annoys me when I hear adults constantly doing this. 'I don't want no [x]' - that means that you DO want [x]! Double negatives cancel out and make a positive. What's worse is that when I correct people on this, sometimes they just give me a blank stare like they have no idea what I'm talking about. Hello? You should have learned this back in elementary school. Why are people so illiterate nowadays?

The English language as a whole is a crapshoot of dumb rules that make it significantly harder to learn than it needs to.
The people who say "I don't want no -" aren't illiterate. The people who think Antarctica is a giant ice wall around the earths diameter are.
