What R U?

[Jon Boehner]

There are many choices, which one suits you?

[Jon Boehner]

I'm not on this list, you?

Do you walk to school or do you take your lunch?

Sounds about as relevant.

Good for you, Fran!

John Boehner seems to be on some kind of mission to post polls. Putting aside that I personally don't see any point to them whatsoever, the problem with how they're constructed is that most of them simply preclude the full range of choices that professional statisticians would include. I mean, there's a poll on this site about people's ages that only goes up to the late 30s!

Now smc, let's not find to much fault. Jon is a relative new member and has just started to post recently.
Everyone has a "poll". Well, maybe not the girls, but here ? You just never know do you?
No age after 30 ? Speaking for yourself? All the parts are there but they don't function, aye?

(c'mon, allow me my little tease.)

Didn't mean to offend you with my sophistry.

Your polls don't offend me, but your misuse of the term sophistry is another story.

Doesn't misuse of the word describe the word?

(an argument apparently correct in form but actually invalid)

No, but your explanation is a form of sophistry. Congratulations.

If you list what you are, you might get what you want.

But you have to have the nerve to announce it.

Hey, you might get lucky!
