Truth poll

[ciphergoth]

I should really post this on a Monday but I might as well do it now. A whole bunch of assertions to do with truth that it occurred to me to poll about...

Some people have fingernails: unticked as I reckon more than some...

"Some" is an odd word. "Some people have fingernails" implies that not that many people have fingernails really. "Some people have fingernails; some don't" doesn't; I'm not sure whether it implies the split is about 50:50, or whether it doesn't imply anything about the relative proportions at all (except that they're non-zero).

The average person has 9.98 fingernails...

...and slightly less than 2 arms. ;)

It is rather - I took it as implying "less than many"

My internal ranking is something like:
none-few-some-many/lots-most-all

I'm aware that some of those are not really on the same scale, by the way ("Most" is comparative, "lots" isn't. Or something. Bloody linguistics...)
