Cutting out the subclause: "Have you attending?"

But arguably, this Lemming's expectations about the perfection of education institutions is a bit high.

[-] RickyWars@lemmy.ca 12 points 7 months ago

Yeah it's a bit awkward, but infuriating? Even mildly infuriating is a stretch.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

For sure. I work at a college with a pretty good reputation, and most of the people I work with are the same regular people you'd find working anywhere.

[-] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 46 points 7 months ago

Technically it should be "Have you attended, or are you attending, a college/university?".

[-] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 31 points 7 months ago

I prefer "have/are you attended/ing a college/university? Yes/no."

[-] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 7 months ago

That would work for strong readers, but all the slashes might confuse weaker readers. Actually, if I wrote the questionnaire, I would write out "college or university" instead of "college/university".

[-] andrew@lemmy.stuart.fun 7 points 7 months ago

I wouldn't actually prefer that, for the record. Just trying to make a joke about making it worse. If only there were more alternatives to add slashes, it might have been a more obvious joke. ๐Ÿ˜…

College/university can be inclusive of those who have done / are doing both.

Someone who has attended, or is attending, college and university would have to answer no to "college or university"

Yes! You see it.

Sorry dude, this is a case where "correct" grammar is less clear than just being slightly incorrect.
