That guy Ozzy, the guy who runs Hotel Llama, is apparently leading people away from the Wallaby. As the co-op of the Wallaby, TNEL told me to investigate, but no leads so far.

No - determiner - 1. not any; 2. used to indicate that something is quite the opposite of what is being specified.
Nay - noun - a negative answer or vote.

you never take responsibility for the things you lose, do you?
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Neither will I when you're gone, and given that you're old enough to be my father (*shudders*), it's far more likely between the two of us that you'll go first, old man. ;)

Context

If somebody is talking trash about Dumbledore's beard and you disagree, the first example is correct.

If you and numerous people are taking a vote on the fabulousness of Dumbledore's beard and most of the group votes against his beard, the second would be correct.

Welcome to the English language, where most differences are stupid but are still differences nonetheless.
