    One of my favourite is when The Sn newspaper in the UK proudly boasted that 90%(ish, IDK) of it’s readers preferred The Sn. That’s everyone who buys The S*n, who responded to the survey, and still a large proportion don’t like it.

    Edit. Asterisks fucked the formatting.

      Edit. Asterisks fucked the formatting.

      Lemmy is assuming each pair of asterisks in your comment is supposed to italicize the text in between. You can negate the markdown formatting by using a backslash before each asterisk to specify that they should just be treated as asterisks instead of italicizing anything.
