It's not, but the intelligence of many here, is limited

I could write a complete sentence in the 1st grade. It appears most of the people who ask questions here have not yet reached 1st grade.

"I don't never use double negatives!"
"A preposition is a bad word to end a sentence with."
"I have told you ten million times never to exaggerate!"

These are declaratives.  They may be prased in the intewrrogative thus:

"Didn't you never see a worse question than that?"
"When did I ever end a sentence with a question like that?"
"How many times did I tell you never to exaggerate over the last million years?"

 

All facts known, Strunk and White, "The elements of style," is the best grammar book ever produced.  As with all good writing, it is brief.

Think it through, work the problem, never guess, sharpen your intuition.
