For example to warn someone that a supply may run out, instead of saying "the supply is not limitless", why not say "the supply is limited"? I have to manually cross off two negatives to know what they mean. Or they write "not uncommon" instead of common. You don't go outside in summer and say "it's not cold today", or say "I went to fill up and the fuel tank in my car has stopped being not full".
