I mean, how serious are these surveys? I can see myself answering HTML is an STD as a joke.
I got diagnosed with Hyper Transmittable Meat Leprosy 5 years ago… At least I have JavaScript to keep the worst of the symptoms at bay.
Here’s the original

According to the Los Angeles Times, the study questioned more than 2300 adults and was conducted by vouchercloud.net, a coupon website that wanted to know how much tech jargon the public knows.
So probably not that serious
I don’t know, given the type of people who frequent “coupon websites,” I wouldn’t be that surprised if they were answering seriously.
Either it is a multiple-choice that the surveyor fucked up and put STD as an option. Or it is an open question and the “one in 10” is legit.
It was done by a coupons website. 12% of the people thought USB was an European country. 18% that blu-ray is an animal. 15% that software is clothing…
There is no way that people were serious.
