I would agree if you hadn't used the "no way" phrasing. Without the "no way" phrasing, your example becomes:
"The man's credit is so good that he can qualify for any loan he applies for." See, the two negatives cancel out and the sentence still makes sense.
But when you prefix that with "no way" like you did in your original statement, it has the opposite affect and is essentially a triple negative which reduces to a negative. So applying your original "no way" phrasing to your example, it becomes:
"The man's credit is so good that there is no way he can't not qualify for any loan he applies for."
And after the negatives cancel, it becomes:
"The man's credit is so good that there is no way he can qualify for any loan he applies for."
Doesn't make sense. See?
Another bump for Taco.

Bump, I fixed the wide post on page 1....even though it doesn't matter now.
And I'm not even touching those English threads with a ten foot pole. I don't have those kind of skills.
