I'm going to have to stop using 'no' to affirm negatives. People keep thinking I'm disagreeing with them. Perhaps this is dying.

I read this. Maybe I should've just said: Agreed, Helen. I have this problem as well. So I do this.

Interested in whether it's dying out in British English coz I'm a language geek so I'm asking early before Americans are up. It is there.

Ah. Right. Ok.
Not British. Not a clue. But I'd understand your "no" being an agreement. -
No, no. I don't mean shut up! I just mean I'm interested in finding out how people understand it. Already decided to stop doing it.

I know you didn't. I just decided to get back to your question, as you intended.
