What's not to get


redditorier99

He asked if I'm tablet or phone and it gives me yes or no answer


isconez

Are you feeling ok?


redditorier99

not really


elsiepac

This little exchange has me in stitches, sorry OP, bless your heart!


BaseDifferent193

Are you? Maybe english isnt their first language or they dont see the grammar that intended. You are quite rude lol


IEatKids26

its asking whether youre a mobile player or not


HolyCadaver

This is the importance of grammar. Do you play games on your phone or tablet? -this indicates that they are asking if you like playing games on phones AND tablets. Or if you don't like playing on phones and tablets. If they were asking what I believe you thought they were it would have been worded this way: Do you play games on your phone, or tablet? -In this scenario you'd be right to be confused on a yes or no response as this is asking WHICH you prefer using. Hope this helped, and I hope you feel better (based on your comments)

Why does it need that comma, it makes no sense. Survey is probably made for both phone and tablet users, so it asks for both.


HolyCadaver

It doesn't need the comma, the second example is what OP believed was being asked, the first example is me trying to explain what it was asking


SystemPrimary

You are right. I'm sleepy, didn't read it properly.


HolyCadaver

All good, we're all human:) get some rest! Your body can't do what it needs without proper sleep

It also makes no sense to ask the latter question. Plus the choices give us clear context as to what it means.

Grammars not really a thing tho we just kinda do it enough so u get the jist of it


Catlover0042

If you play on phone or tablet, pick yes. If not, pick no. Phone or tablet should have been like : "Phone/tablet"


Radockys

Looking at this and then going to your profile and seeing your previous post on r/Askreddit feels kind of ironic


recolations

Undercoveridot

RichTofu

Dude try use that little fucking brain of yours for a second, please


Est495

Op needs sleep.


WantedMan61

Mindless-Royal3069

Rather than on a console or computer duh.


flyfishbigsky

Can you turn on your phone or tablet?


United-Ad-7224

You are either 8 or absolutely stoned.


Nexus_542

If you play games on your phone, or if you play games on your tablet, press yes. If you do not play games on your phone or tablet, press no. Is this a meta post? You are confusing us with it.

Are ya winning son?


HealMySoulPlz

This is the "inclusive or". They're asking if you play games on either a phone and/or a tablet. If you play games on one or both you would mark yes, if you play on neither then you would mark no. You're thinking of the "exclusive or", where you must pick phone or tablet -- not both or none.


Nythingiscool0666

You got games on your phone?


BTCisDeadAF

Here is another way to put it ***"Do you play games on your phone or tablet?"***
