I listen to Milli or Vanilli.

I'm sorry, the only acceptable answer is "Yes."

It's implied that you at least listen to Vanilli.

[QUOTE="Buff-McBlumpkin"][QUOTE="GundamGuy0"]
No it's worded fine. The accepted truth functionality of 'Or' is generally accepted as being inclusive, unless specified otherwise. So basically.
C v D ( v is the symbol for or in logic.)
T t T (It's true if cat and dog are both true.)
T t F (It's true if cat is true and dog is false.)
F t T (It's true if cat is false and dog is true.)
F f F (It's not true if cat is false and dog is false.)

IE you should only answer no if you have neither a cat nor a dog.

And your suggesting the exclusive use of or, instead of the inclusive use. Exclusive or is most commonly denoted by "Either or but not both." IE the phrasing would have to be Do you have a cat or a dog, but not both.

No, you're wrong. That's a bunch of flowry nonsense. "Or" is different from "And," no matter how much you dress it up.

When someone asks you "Did you eat an apple or an orange?" it's different than "Did you eat an apple and an orange?".

Asking someone "Do you own a cat or a dog?" is never a "Yes/No" question. It's a "Do you own a cat or do you own a dog?" question.

iunderstand

Yeah, that's what I was saying.. The first question, using "or," is "Did you eat an apple or did you eat an orange?" and the second, using "and," is "Did you eat both of them?". Asking someone "Do you own a dog or a cat" is never a Yes/No question if you own both of them, it's a "Do you own a dog or do you own a cat?" type of question. If you own one it can be yes, if you own both it cab't be. I don't know what that other guy is talking about, but that's the reason "And" and "Or" have completely different meanings, "Or" never means "And."

I don't even know why I'm typing at this point.

I wash my hands a lot....... and anything that has been in public, must not touch certain things in my house or else they'll be contaminated...... it's hard to explain. But I wash my hands constantly, but I don't think its OCD. I think it's just ...... hygiene. Account_27

.

I used to have a touch of it when I was a young kid... like if I touched something with my left hand I'd "have" to touch it with my right hand. That's a foggy memory though, I've never thought about it much.

It just went away eventually, and I don't do meds or anything..... it just faded. Haven't had any problems with it for about two decades.

[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.JeffyTheFatty

yes if u have a dog or a cat, no if you don't have either

Not technically. The question would have to be "Do you own a cat and/or a dog?"

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. 

EDIT: Misread the posts above mine.... thought someone was asking if they'd answer "Yes" if they owned both.

Is this survey UK only?
