Is html contagious?

Just came across some survey results in the LA Times that took the expression 'Only in America' to new heights.

Or maybe that should be new lows.

According to the survey by VoucherCloud 11% of Americans think that html is a sexually transmitted disease.

But wait there's more:

27% thought a gigabyte was a South American insect.

And 23% thought an mp3 was a robot in Star Wars.

Oh dear....
