> I wouldn’t be surprised if this doesn’t happen more often.

From context I guess you meant either "I wouldn’t be surprised if this happens more often" or "I would be surprised if this doesn’t happen more often." (https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?cat=273 has many fun examples of this sort of thing)



Oops. And this is what happens when you accidentally double your negatives, thanks for the point out even if it’s too late to edit.


I cannot deny that your comment couldn't have failed more to displease me. Cheers,
