No one ain't never done did it

Looking at stories on NPR today, I came across this lovely sentence in a summary of a story about two guys who are trekking to the North Pole solo:

No one has done reached the North Pole during the brutal months of eternal night with no airdrops of food and no pre-arranged rest stops.

I'm no grammarian or anything, but to see the NPR intellectuals write, "No one has done reached," I thought was humorous indeed.

In Kentucky the proper usage would be: "No one has done reached Floyd County during the brutal months of eternal night with out no stops at the Huddle House for some of them waffles first."

Thank you for that info. I hope you are becoming quite proficient in your Kentukinese while you are there.
