How to read out a double negation in propositional logic

Problem
How would one verbally say ~~R where R = my program is correct? The tildes are negation symbols. I'm not sure if it just cancels out and comes out as 'my program is correct' or if it's something else.
Thank you!

Solution
The answer by @D.W. is valid in classical logic, however if you are on the intuitionistic side, then you can't eliminate double negation (~~).
I'd read the formula as 'It is not true that my program is not correct'.
I'd read the formula as 'It is not true that my program is not correct'.
