While I am addressing the double negative, in the same sentence there are five errors:
1. Missed space before the first paren in multiple places. (a common error)
2. Missing apostrophe in the word "don't" (Wankerage)
3. The word "dont" created a double negative. Its inclusion is completely useless in that sentence, given your intended meaning. (Wankerage again)
4 & 5. The word "genetics" spelled incorrectly in two different ways in the same sentence. (Bloody Wankerage)
More fun from further up . . .
5. Double use of the word "is:" "selective pressure is is" (Clintonian Wankerage)
6. Double use of the word "the:" selected against the the most common neutral changes (Wankerage)
7. "isnt" lacks apostrophe ("isn't engineered" is correct) (Wankerage)
8. Run on sentences (common error)
In a technically informative post you put on an abysmal display of Wankerage.
Use the "Preview" button. Read your post backwards before you post it. That is an old proofreading trick. It works.
The bottom line on my sig is a call to action.
In the interest of being taken seriously, please quit posting like a Wanker. Your ideas, positions, and opinions are worthy of consideration on their own merit. The disrespect you show your reading audience by habitual misuse of the written word is appalling.
Doc, quite sniggering over there, your posts aren't much more polished. :blink:

Damnit man, I am Southern. I grew up handicapped in all areas of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
And besides. I write in an easy to read-as-it-is-spoken conversational style that is easy on the eyes.

I am not afraid of your inquisition and your silly kniggits!
And I was NOT sniggering... I was chortling, I will have you know.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
