I think "don't add anything" means "do add nothing" but not means "don't add
nothing"
seem to be non-native speakers of English. Is this correct? :-)
As Ben tries to explain, "don't add nothing" is a colloquialism of
English that in fact can mean "do not add"
It sounds amusing when read, and I'm not killing the character and
personality of this comment just for some language lawyering.
No way.
Oh my God... time for me to check what is a colloquialism :)
According to wikipedia :
A colloquialism is an expression not used in formal speech, writing or paralinguistics. Colloquialisms are also sometimes referred to collectively as "colloquial language". [1] Colloquialisms
or colloquial language is considered to be characteristic of or only
appropriate for casual, ordinary, familiar, or informal conversation
rather than formal speech or writing.
