I came upon the following question while taking a survey the other day.
Am I Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino or Not?
With the choices being yes or no, I really did not know how to answer.
I could have answered yes because I fall into the not category. But if I answered no, just what was I saying?
Gramatically speaking, if I said no to the answer, I am saying I am not Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino and I am also saying that I am not, not Spanish Hispanic or Latino. Therefore I am Spanish, Hispanic or Latino (Double negatives = positive).
Usually I do not care about mispellings or poor grammar on blogs and personal webpages. It really irks me however when commercial sites have errors of this nature. I feel maybe that they save costs by not having someone do QA on their site.
Am I being too critical? Please let me know what you think.
