In response to "will you not marry me? -- nm" by dogbert183

I hate questions phrased like this. They essentially mandate that they be answered in a complete sentence.

- I'm a programmer. The "not" inverts the resultant conditional response. So if you say Yes you mean No, and if you say No you mean Yes. -- nm - Beryllium McGee Oct 30, 09:12 2
  - But it's not likely a programmer would ever need to worry about a marriage proposal. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 30, 09:21 1
