As is my wont, and I ended up in a debate with myself.
I posited to myself that "Not attractive" wasn't the same as "unattractive." I agreed with myself.
Then I thought, well it's almost like a scale:
Attractive... not attractive...unattractive.
And then I got to wondering where "not unattractive" would fit in.
Is it:
Attractive...not attractive...not unattractive...unattractive.
or does "not unattractive" mean more attractive than "not attractive", in which case it would go:
Attractive....not unattractive....not attractive...unattractive.
By this time I was completely addled, losing the will to live and drawing some strange glances as I tried to make sense of it all.
Also, do you know how hard it is to type "attractive" a trillion times in one post?!
It's not my fault - the sky wasn't such a distraction this evening.
