All bullsh<nobr>it<nobr>[^].
I know everyone here on CP finds it fashionable and fun to insult Americans, but citing 3 year-old fraudulent surveys made by garbage companies from the U.K.?
C'mon, you can be more inventive than that.

It's an American that posted it.

Yes. And I got the link off an American website: Msn.com. But I better duck and run. Now where's my coat?

The nationality of the person posting it is immaterial. I noted that the survey was created by an outfit from the U.K.

So why would an American take any notice of it?

0) I wonder how many people that took the survey intentionally selected the most ridiculous answer simply because - well - anarchy.
1) When you look at the actual survey results, you'll see that a vast majority of people answered correctly, and I suspect you'd get similar results regardless of the country in which the survey is conducted.
2) I understand that you're simply singling out Americans because that's who took the survey, but it's like reverse discrimination. It's okay and funny to trash Americans, but it's abhorrent and evil to trash people from other countries. Just like only whites can be racists, but blacks don't have a racist bone in their body. Same sh|t, different day.
This really belongs in the soapbox, and I'm kinda surprised that wasn't obvious to someone as intelligent as you. I suppose there are stupid people in every country, but it looks like we need a pointless f*ckin survey to root them out.

It was really not my intention to offend. My apologies if I did.

In this forum it has an offensive limit of 50%. So you can't offend more than 50% of the readers.
Now in the soapbox you cannot post anything that doesn't offend at least one person.

Thanks for clarifying!

OP's American too and given the site demographic, highly likely white as well. I don't think he meant to offend anyone.

Sorry that hardly seems remarkable.
16% of them believe in bigfoot. That would seem like much more of a problem.

You mean... HTML doesn't stand for Humping Too Many Lasses? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

And the authors are not mathematicians. Quote from the article:
1 in every 9 Americans–or exactly 11%–think HTML is actually a sexually transmitted disease
1/9 is not exactly 11%.

Relax. It is an American website.

Well it is true that upwards of 50% of Americans are of below average intelligence. As opposed to the the rest of the world where up to 50% are above average.
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.
