I once had a telephone conversation with someone who I assume was a native English speaker. We were having a disagreement and I said "there's obviously no way we can get any further, as we're both quite certain that we are in the right." She said "No, I'm not quite certain, I'm 100% certain." I of course meant precisely that.
