Here is an example of wrong use of negative.

A thread is titled as:

TOPIC: Why people don't participate very rare and less in Q and A section?

Here Don't is superfluous and changes the very meaning. Either 'Don't' should be omitted or 'very rare' be changed to 'very often'. Not participating very rare means 'participating often'. The title could be simple as : Why people participate less in Q and A.

Yes Gulshan ! You are right. We must be very careful while forming sentences. It should be simple and convey the intended meaning.

Thanks for pointing it. :)
