Hearing 'I haven't got none' has annoyed me as long as I can rememberIn fact, I used to try to correct my infant classmates' use of it before I was 7.
'If you haven't got NONE then you've got SOME!' I'd explain, to be met with blank stares.
The Rolling Stones' 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction' baffled me. Didn't they know how ignorant they sounded?

Wasn't this type of double negative used way back by the celts or some such other tribal peoples to emphasise the lack of said missing item?
'I Can't Get No Satisfaction' would translate to 'I cannot, under any circumstance, irrespective of how hard I try, achieve satisfaction'
