ABSTRACT
Imagine a classroom. The teacher tells the students to take out paper and pencil to write a paragraph. Johnny waves his hand and calls out “I ain’t got no pencil.” “No, no Johnny,” the teacher admonishes. “I don’t have a pencil, he doesn’t have a pencil, we don’t have any pencils, they don’t have any pencils.” Johnny interrupts in disgust, “Ain’t nobody got no pencils?”
