The other day I watched TV drama here in Japan. It is the conversation

 between a Japanese woman and a Taiwanese man (both speak English.)

at a Taiwanese restaurant. Because of unusual taste, she makes a wry

face and then he asks her:

   HE : You don't like it?

   SHE : No, No, I love it.

My question is, though her answer is affirmative, why she says, "No,

no" which is negative.

Thank you for teaching me

In the phrase "By 1990, how had the UN changed since it was founded?", does "by 1990" mean "on or before 1990?

The following phrase is found in English paper.

By 1978, Mohamed Ali  had become the first boxer to win three heavyweight' championships.My question is that "by 1978 means no later than 1978? Is this usage of "by" correct in English grammar?

I have a question on English preposition "by". Can I use "by" in the following way?

In 1960 JFK was elected American President and he became the first Roman Catholic president.

In this case can I say in English as follows?

"By 1960, Jon F. Kennedy became the first Roman Catholic president."

Thank you for your kind teaching.

The following phrase was found in the article about Mohamed Ali.

But Ali was soon back in the ring, losing against Joe Frazier in the Fight of

the Century in 1971,reclaiming the heavyweight champion title from George

Foreman in the Rumble in the Jungle in 1974, and then winning against

Frazier in the Thrilla in Manila in 1975. By 1978, he had　become the 1rst boxer

to, win three; heavyweight' championships.

I think the latter part of this phrase means that Mohamed Ali is very boxer who won all of three heavyweight championships and he did it in 1978 for the first time.

Is my understanding correct?

Thank you for teaching me.
