Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!

This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

Remember to read the rules before you make a post or comment!

Filling in a form for a 17-year-old (feddit.uk)

Also, how can you be aged 16 and below? I know, not technically the software's fault, but still...

16 and below is unambiguous. It's a child up to and including 16 years old. Compare that to "below 17" for example, which technically means the same but might be confused to include 17 by someone skimming the question.

[–] baggins@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago

Should be 16 or below since you can't be more than one year of age at the same time.

[–] nyar@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Below 17 means exactly that, 0-16. 16 and below, while understood to mean 16 or below in this context, actually means the child would have to be both 16 and also between the age of 0-15.

[–] Meho_Nohome@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It seems very clear. All ages including 16 YOA and those below 16 YOA. It seems stupid to have to list every age just for the 1% of English speaking people who can't comprehend English.

Your child can’t be both 16 and below. It’s understandable but wrong. If they’d written it in the form “All children 16 and below …” it would have been ok.

But still, how do you answer it for a 17-year-old?

[–] Sanyanov@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

"16 and below" is a completely normal phrasing.

I'm only concerned about no option being there for, you know, kids above 16 :D

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

In this instance, "If your child is 16 and below" could be better expressed as "If your child is 16 or below" since it only has a singlular subject.

"All children 16 and below..." Perfectly cromulent.

"If your child is 16 and below..." Awkward.
