The way the question is worded now is only asking if you own one and not the other, if you own both you'd answer "No.: Technically speaking, who knows what they really mean by it.
looking too deep into something silly.Â
EDIT: Misread the posts above mine.... thought someone was asking if they'd answer "Yes" if they owned both.

yes if u have a dog or a cat, no if you don't have either
if that were the case. the question would have to be do you have a dog and a cat. No, because that would imply that you have both, while people often have one or the other... but then the answer to the poll would have to be either a cat or a dog. not yes or no. No, since yes can mean "yes I have a cat" or "yes I have a dog" or "Yes I have both", no in the case simply means you have neither.[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="captainlouie"][QUOTE="Magical_Guy"][QUOTE="captainlouie"]do you own a cat or a dog yes or no i have no idea if yes means cat or no means cat. what are they doing. i love this channel. but they can't be doing this. someone isn't doing their job.captainlouie

No, because that would imply that you have both, while people often have one or the other... but then the answer to the poll would have to be either a cat or a dog. not yes or no. The question is worded poorly, but basically. You answer Yes, if you have something fuzzy running around your house, and you answer no if cats and dogs make you break out in hives.The OP? Not really.....[QUOTE="magus-21"][QUOTE="Caviglia"]Syntactically sloppy but otherwise sound.Caviglia
The question, perhaps 'sloppy' is not the best word, the term 'misleading' is more appropriate..
I'm not talking about that. I mean the OP's logic isn't sound.[QUOTE="Caviglia"]The OP? Not really.....[QUOTE="magus-21"][QUOTE="Caviglia"]Syntactically sloppy but otherwise sound.magus-21

:lol: this must be very embarassing for you...:| Why because he doesn't understand very well english. You know man, There are other languages out there excpect english, and other countries out there also that don't use english as the official language. Maybe english for that guy ain't his mother tongue. Anyways, I would like to see you understand chinese or japanese, german or whatever language you don't know or only know a liltle. Anyways it is indeed funny the way he understands the "question" but from there on saying that he should be emarassed of not knowing english very well isn't right.
