The more northern dialects are infected with certain negation-related illogicalities too. Consider this New York Times headline:

“All Options Are Not on the Table as Biden Moves Troops Closer to Ukraine” https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/05/us/politics/biden-ukraine...

which should have been “Not All Options Are on the Table”, since the intended interpretation is

¬∀ option, on(option, table)

rather than the very different

∀ option, ¬on(option, table).
