I sense their bar is low.

      Cutting out the subclause: “Have you attending?”

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

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

        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.

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

          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”.

            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. 😅

            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”

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

        Yes! You see it.

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