In my experience, 'not' is a common typographical error for 'no'. In this case, either will work to produce the same meaning or communicate the same intent, so an editor would not question the word choice. It is common that people will say 'there isn't any evidence' to be more emphatic, but the additional word 'any' is not necessary to convey the meaning of an absence of evidence. Using the non-contracted form is more formal, authoritarian, and concrete, whereas the contracted form comes off as informal as to be an opinion rather than an undisputed fact. When writing propaganda, it is important to express dogma with firm resolution or finality so as to discourage doubt. (责任编辑：) |
