    Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Mar 26 '24 at 01:03
  • Which clause has two negatives instead of normal negative polarity items? – tchrist Mar 26 '24 at 01:51

    Your sentence has an understood 'that' hiding between two clauses. So, one negative in each, and no doubles. – Yosef Baskin Mar 26 '24 at 03:18
  • Which definition of double negative are you using? Are you actually asking if it's ungrammatical? Do you want to know what it means? – Stuart F Mar 26 '24 at 05:02
  • 'He did not say "No" ' is not what most class as a 'double negative' though there are two negations. And there's no problem with it. – Edwin Ashworth Mar 26 '24 at 13:10

What the sentence is actually saying "There is no way that it doesn't work on your phone."

There is an implied "that". The sentence does not have a double negative.

  • This has already been said by Mr Baskin in a comment. While it is on this site regarded as OK to incorporate others' comments into one's answer, it is customary to acknowledge that this is what one is doing. – jsw29 Mar 26 '24 at 21:48
