Is the following sentence always true IT IS NOT OPPOSITE DAY?

Yes, it is always true. If it was "opposite day", the actual meaning would be taken as 'it is opposite day'. If it was not opposite day, the sentence would be taken as read and would be correct. On Opposite Day : "It is not opposite day" = "It is opposite day" = True On Any Other Day: "It is not opposite day" = "It is not opposite day" = True If you said it WAS Opposite Day, it won't always be true.
