That question about single married divorced widowed, is that how the US still collects demographic data?
It seems odd, given the choices in other sections reflect modern life more.
Yes, I was going to add "complicated" and maybe other options, but ultimately I decided not to but maybe I should? This was a generated question so that should answer your question.
I think though if it's of interest of people maybe I should. What do you think?
Single, married, divorced, and widowed are legal concepts that cover everything that can without being overcomplicated with a million personal preferences and 'complicated' is meaningless without every single unique person's context.
Or add a separate question about whether they feel their situation is more complicated than that without muddling clear answers on legal status.
I guess this must apply to the society you and @Peacemeal12 live in, for sure. But I was actually talking about legal terms.
Where I live, civil unions and common law (de facto) relationships of more than 2 years have the exact same legal standing as marriage.
So the question usually includes De Facto, and Married or in a Civil Union.
If they are the same as marriage then that is a distinction without a difference.
Depends on the purpose of the demographics.
I think collecting the stats on it first is probably a big part of why we slowly changed our laws to give them all the same rights - when we saw how many people were being affected.
I agree with you and I live in the US. I've been single for 20 years...but I was married before that so I'm divorced. I guess you can never be single again.
Yeah it's weird that you don't get to be single even though you are.
I haven't been single for over 20 years but I'm also not married or divorced or widowed.
UPDATE: New survey linke: https://forms.office.com/r/Xadjwmt2Gm
The results also has a cool pie chart that you can look it as well as the data.
I feel like separating gay and lesbian instead of just saying homosexual is cluttering things up. And idk, bisexuality is a thing?
Edit: also, political leanings become somewhat nefarious when I don't know if you're speaking in "American terms" or not.
It appears to be broken. I selected Australian, but it shows as zero in the results.
It is not broken, it just completely stopped tallying. Apparently the free version of supersurvey has a limit of only fucking 25 responses, and of course they do not tell you this until you created an account and already sent out the survey and then asks you to pay $90 a month for this shitty webapp that breaks immediately.
I'm just going to have to make another survey; what a bust...
Maybe try Google Forms? https://alternativeto.net/software/google-forms/about/
Check that it doesn't reveal individual answers first I guess.
Might be a good idea to edit your original post as well, so people don't keep entering data in vain.
The results button results in a 404.
I'm going to mess with the settings to see if I can fix it ASAP. For now I see if you don't select anything and press 'Skip' and then vote it takes you to the results. Thanks!
I clicked vote a few minutes ago and it took me right to the results successfully.
Using Firefox in case it is a browser thing.
