Nothing—nor

“There was nothing at the Columbian Exposition more beautiful, nor more suggestive of the progress of American art, than Tiffany’s display.” Change nor to or.

Can’t do nothing

“He says he can’t do nothing for me.” Use “He can do nothing,” or “He can’t do anything for me.”

Cannot by no means

This double negative should be avoided. “I cannot by no means permit you to go.” Say, “I cannot possibly,” or “I cannot, under any consideration, permit you to go.”

Nor—no

“Give not me counsel, nor let no comforter delight mine ear,” says Shakespeare.

“There can be no rules laid down, nor no manner recommended,” says Sheridan.

“No skill could obviate, nor no remedy dispel the terrible infection.”
