It doesn't? I just called the article up and here's the Prologue that I "remembered" adding to the article.Hmmm, this might be the language gap. I was being affirmative.
You say: "it doesn't get better ...", I say: "yes, it doesn't". Doesn't it work that way?
Koen the way you said it seems like it would be correct but yet again English has to be a bit strange. We would say "No, it doesn't".
English: sense it makes none.
Must be because I obviously took it as the negative. BWAAA-HAAA!!!! No wonder people of different languages go to war over dumb things... they were saying the same thing, took it the wrong way, and decided to fight about it instead of talk about it. There are even "language gaps" right here in the U.S.A. In the mid west, if someone were to say "I have a silver colored truck", I would respond, "So do I" because I also have a silver colored truck. In Rhode Island (part of the north east or "New England" states), someone else would say "So don't I" if they also have a silver colored truck and I just don't get that.
That of course is exactly the same inversion of sense that many Americans use when they convert standard English "I couldn't care less" to (majority American, not universal though) "I could care less". I would take it as meaning the opposite of what it apparently does - and now that you've warned me I may understand it if I ever come across it (but I've no plans to go to RI, so I probably will never hear it).
