Happy New Year to you as well, Yuri.

“I ain’t never did none of that.” means “I have never done that.” and the speaker has said in the way to underscore what her meant.
“They have not never occurred.” means “They have occurred.”
When the negative words are even number, I see the sentence doesn’t mean any negative, and when the negative words are uneven number, I can see the sentence has one negative word.
I see. However, if you speak to me with three negative words, I wouldn’t understand.
This is very confusing when conversations.
I, myself sometimes say double negatives, but never say triple even in Japanese.
Thanks as always, Koir.

You understand perfectly, Yuri. Great work!
Please take good care of me in the new year as well!
