Who has seen the Y!A survey? What did you think of this?

I think it's hilarious. One of the questions asks you to "Please consider each of the following words and select the ones you feel best represent Yahoo! Answers" Here they are:


Arrogant


Charming


Upper Class


Trustworthy


Different


Reliable


Friendly


Unique


Kind


Fun


Prestigious


Dynamic


Restrained


Best Brand


Leader


Independent


Rugged


Daring


Innovative


Straightforward


Trendy


High Quality


Original


Cares Customers


Stylish


Carefree


Simple


Obliging


Authentic


Socially Responsible


Glamorous


Unapproachable


Traditional


Worth More


High Performance


Energetic


Sensuous


Distinctive


Helpful


Progressive


Down to Earth


Up to date


Gaining in popularity


Good Value





A lot of them don't even make sense, like "Cares Customers" and "Sensuous." And only two, or about 4.5%, could be considered negative. What does that say about yahoo answers?

Who has seen the Y!A survey? What did you think of this?
They need a lot more negative words if they want to be honest. Words like "arbitrary" and "capricious" or "unfair" and "unjust."





But, typically, they don't want the truth, they just want to look good.
Reply:Is that for real? That's hilarious! Did the work experience student compile that survey? Lol... How bizarre, sensuous? WTF? Obliging....?!


It's like a non-native English speaker has got hold of a thesaurus!
Reply:This is the first time I've seen this and my response is: you have got to be joking?





Wonder what moron dreamed up this nonsense.
Reply:I think it's proof they've outsourced everything to the subcontinent ... that would explain the crazy violations, if English is Yahoo's second language.





MY list would be something like:





annoying


moronic


totally random


pixilated


perverted


futile
