I mean, how serious are these surveys? I can see myself answering HTML is an STD as a joke.
And JS is the cure. Obviously.
I got diagnosed with Hyper Transmittable Meat Leprosy 5 years ago... At least I have JavaScript to keep the worst of the symptoms at bay.
Take two php and call me in the morning
Here's the original

So probably not that serious
Either it is a multiple-choice that the surveyor fucked up and put STD as an option. Or it is an open question and the "one in 10" is legit.
It was a 3 option multiple choice according to the original article
"What is HTML?"
Probably not a joke but simply people answering multiple choice survey wrong because they don't know. Most likely answer is that most of those people simply have no clue about html instead
It was done by a coupons website. 12% of the people thought USB was an European country. 18% that blu-ray is an animal. 15% that software is clothing...
There is no way that people were serious.
