Double Neg or No

Yesterday I was playing a game of CoD and after loosing a game I shouted, "How does no one not see this guy?" I was refering to an enemy player who flanked my team and killed me for the final game winning kill while four of my teammates watched and did nothing. In frustration I eneded up blurting the aforementioned and a friend accused me of using a double neg. I can't seem to figure out if it actually is a double neg and if so, whether it's that agregious or not.

  • Yes, it's a double negative.
  • The word 'not' shouldn't be there, since "no one saw that guy" includes the negative that you want.
