Ok, maybe learn how to say it in ways that don't read as you saying the opposite
Maybe they just wanted to say "isn't"
"won't definitely" =/= "definitely won't" in this context.
You said "no" but your explanation says yes
They said "would", but they meant "wouldn't"
I don’t think you meant what you said in the first sentence.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_negative
Did you mean to say "isn't"?
how about "in no way"?
This could be a double negative...
You've missed the "not" word. I had to double take too.
