Many years ago at school, I was interviewed by a newspaper reporter, and said that someone was not at all bad
, as one did at that age in those days. It implied reasonable approval. My remark was duly splashed in next day's headline as not too bad
, a completely different value, rather disparaging. So I learned at an early age never to trust the press.
