So probably not that serious

Probably not a joke but simply people answering multiple choice survey wrong because they don’t know. Most likely answer is that most of those people simply have no clue about html instead

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…

PHP is one hell of a drug.

“Son, I need to talk to you about your PHP use. It’s a dangerous thing, and something you don’t want to fall into. I know a few long-time PHP users - they’re sad people, spending most of their time raving about syntax and garbage open source projects.”

Millions of US adults catch HTML every year. There is no cure or treatment.

It’s not, it’s almost 10 years old
