As far as I understand it, sins are capital, while virtues are cardinal. Tongue

Anyway, there's also making a poll about yourself.

I've never understood this one. Why is that?

Because random sampling error makes decimals utterly meaningless, and, if a polling firm doesn't realize that, chances are it has no clue what it's doing.

Not putting "the" in front of a demographic: the blacks, the gays, the olds, etc

Ugh no, compliance to awful gimmicks is not mandatory yet, thank Dave.

-Using the phrase "fiscally conservative, socially liberal".

Unless adding the qualifier "(like me lol)".
