No, because "are you" would be implying a legitimate inquiry, whereas the double negative form has the connotation of already knowing the answer but asking anyway. Learn vernacular.

fucking awesome.
got up at three and ran one of my best runs yet....just 6 miles....got 13 more in the morning relaxed. like really relaxed. the fred sale sr picked me up and took me to two wonderful breweries....like small local breweries that were wonderful. and then off to an awesome spot that he rightfully described as a food court with class i love coming down here for runs. but the fact that fred always steps up and grabs me for a small adventure always turns out to be my favorite part of my trip thanks again Fred.....loved the talk and loved just hanging out as always man |

Second day at the loony bin. Yay rehab!
We watched a lot of movies and I wrote poetry and thought about Lithuanian pottery and architecture. My friend plays a game called minecraft. My mental illness or rightful imtuition tells me a friend she may not actually be. The point is SF is being flooded with new buildings that look like cubes with giant mirrors. They remind me of that video gane. A narcissist right them attractive up close but from afar they look more like application icons on a touchscreen phone. Tut tut. I suppose I'd be more acquainted in a more tropically themed palace.

Edit: I would be extremely surprised to learn that that phrase was American vernacular of any sort; I know it is here. I listen to people say "don't you not" and "can't you not", and every time I hear it it sets my teeth on edge. Just because it's maybe vernacular does not make it right; it's still incorrect usage of English, and it also make no sense at all.

Also, I thought you prided yourself on being a Grammar Nazi? Hand in your shock-stick, pal, you're out!

When grammar mistakes are intentional then Grammar Nazism does not apply. I was well aware that I was using a double negative but chose to use it anyway, negating criticism.
