[General] Your common sense is being called...

Good (night/morning/afternoon). My question is concerning two sentences: the first one "Would I have had the money I would have bought a new suit " and the second one "If I had had the money, I would have bought a new suit". I would like to ask you what differences in use are between them (which you can hear) and is that only about frequency(/poetry)?
Cheers

If I had the money, I would buy a new suit. :tick:
If I had had the money, I would have bought a new suit. :tick:
Would I have had the money I would have bought a new suit. :cross:

Hmm. The last one seems to be grammatically agreeable... Why is that not correct? (I am sorry if I am asking unquestionable questions here, but if that's the case, just tell me).

We just wouldn't say it like that.

No one out there would say that? How disappointing. Anyways, don't worry, you are being given some 'likes' right now.

Ha ha (or a ha-ha ahahaha)The next question (something I have got used to forgetting/forget) is:
Is 'no one out there would say that' equal to 'no one out there would not say that' except the expressed emphasis in the second sentence?
(lets say logical sense is omitted unless it be so important as to have it always included)
hmm. Another question arises. Is "something i have got used to forgetting' as correct as "something i have got used to forget'?

Please give your correct location in your profile.

Huh. What do you mean? I hope you are not going to do something about it...:lol:

I might.

 

[bureaucracy]

I might.

Give a second then... ('me' swallowed somehow, probably in the process of thinking :-D)


edit: Of course you are free to answer my questions, even from now...

I might answer your questions if I understood what you were asking.

Please ask them one at a time, with unrelated questions in separate threads and always capitalise I.

1. Is 'no one out there would say that' equal to 'no one out there would not say that' except the expressed emphasis in the second sentence?
2. Is "something i have got used to forgetting' as good as "something i have got used to forget'?

 

[Rover_KE]

In #1 the word 'not' in the second version makes it the exact opposite of the first.

in #2 only the first is correct.

I repeat: always capitalise I.

"No one out there would say that" and
"No one out there would not say that" are obviously different sentences.
I guess you know that, in English, we don't insert "not" or "no" unless we intend to make a separate negation? That is, we don't use double negatives for a single negative.
