For example:

"Has anyone see the Matrix?"

"Has anyone been to a Korean Restaurant?"

"Are there any Chinese people here?"

If you were asking your friends in a small office of 5, that might be a worthwhile question. But when you are asking 10's, or 100's of thousands of members a question that MOST have probably participated in, what are you gaining? You have to be fairly stupid to expect that a majority would answer no.

Wouldn't better questions be:

"What did you think of the Matrix?",
"What dishes are good for a first timer at a Korean Restaurant?",
"Chinese members, what does word mean?"

You might wanna pull that stick out before it starts splintering.

I'm a grammar nazi, but you're WAY around the bend.

You just called yourself a grammar nazi, then insult me? What is this? The worser of two evils?

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk Fausto. Didn't you learn anything from the OP? A better question would be, "What did you think of sygyzy's mom naked?", or "Isn't sygyzy's mom hot when she's naked?".

We should all start posting better questions.
