Forming negative sentences correctly

Let's revisit the very important matter of negation in English.

We all know that the adjective "no" — as do its semantic cousins "not" and "never" — undermines and negates every single thought and idea to which it latches on: "No, I don't like you." "No, I have never loved you." Doubtless the most subversive single word in English, "no" when placed right before an assertion negates it with brutal efficiency: "No parking." "No swerving." "No overloading." "No election cheating."
