    You put the double ‘un’ but forgot the double ‘dead’.

    Oh, I didn’t realise you were actually catching the thing mid statement.


    Still:

    • A dead un-dead would be a re-dead, not very alive
    • Considering the 2x dead person is still capable of commenting, I would assume it came back after re-death and is now in some other condition.

        The thing is that ‘un’ is different from stuff like ‘not’, ‘non’ and the likes, because it is not just denying the referred word but saying that the effect of the referred word was reverted somehow.
