Do Guatemalans constructing at Hunting Caye pose no security threat to Belize?
And tonight’s question is: Do you believe that Guatemalans constructing at Hunting Caye pose no security threat to Belize? Send your comments and responses using your SMART phones to 8686 or post your vote on our e-poll at channel5belize.com. You can also send an email with your comments to questions@channel5belize.com.
The results of the Poll will be useless because of the way the question is posed: “Do you believe that Guatemalans constructing at Hunting Caye pose* no security threat to Belize?” Most of your pollees are dyslexic and will not be able to process a question posed in the negative.
The question, if it is to be useful, has to be posed in the neutral: “Do you believe…..poses a security threat?”
ARE you following me on this?? SOLUTION: Give the author of the poll question a good spanking along with the relevant disabuse.
*should be poses, not pose 🙂
Enjoy your day and keep in touch!
Yup. I agree. The way some Belizean writers/reporters use the English written and spoken language is in-congruent – for the lack of a better word – with main stream English. Most writers today do not use double negatives. It’s confusing to our dyslexic creole speakers. My advice is make is KISS. Keep it simple stupid. I hope the last “s” do not pose no negative vibes to a positive input.
