When teaching, a student would often come to me and say, "Teacher, I don't got no pencil". To explain the double negative, which ends up making what you mean to say the opposite (in this case, the student doesn't have a pencil), I directed a little show. The student held out both hands, palms up. In one, I placed a pencil and named that hand "a pencil". The empty hand was dubbed "no pencil". Since the student didn't have "no pencil", that hand was lowered to his side. So, he must have "a pencil", and should go sit down and do the assignment.
The visual helped the whole class not to use "double negative" together. They didn't not get it no more, neither!

The Radiomir 1940 PAM 574 makes the most of its non-wire link lug case, opting for the link slightly more modern-looking welded lugs to give a more purposeful appearance. With a 42mm case diameter, the PAM 574 is a reduction in size from the traditional Panerai dimensions by two millimeters. This change combined with its gorgeously slim profile make this Italian link model a real gem.
