This a form of negation which allows the speaker to access the opposite
of what they are talking about. It's introduction into the language was
highly contentious, with one faction of humanity deciding not
to use it.Not much is known about these people as
they very swiftly abandonned all speech. Having little to say for themselves,

that they do not exist, but this position can easily
be exposed, as that would involve using the very expression, not,
to which they took such an exception.
