To have or have got? Sorry. Just toured the Hemingway house in Key West last week.

If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I got a programming question from Stack Overflow. It had already been answered.

No, it still says got instead of have in many places here. I assume you intend to imply that the misuse of got has been here for a long time.

Sam Hobbs

Note that there are about 30 other examples in that page where got is used for the past tense. Yes, I know many people say I've got and variations of that but very seldom do they say I have got. Instead of I have got people nearly always say I have. Got means something has been transferred in the past. Have means possession. In the context here, the question is asking if we have (possess) a question. I sure hope no one minds the proper use of have and I think some people (other than me) mind the use of got in this context.

Sounds like a biggie. Good luck with it!

No, it's a tiny question - easy for an expert to solve, I'm sure: "What's wrong with my code?" :-D

It isn't written in Rust. Fix that and it will work.

I dunno - it's looking pretty corroded from here already.

Oh. That's easy then. Put some WD-40 on it. That stuff fixes everything!

Dear Chris, An expert on your site suggested I spray my code with WD40, so I did and it all slid down the editor into a slimy pile of characters at the bottom of the file. I think some of the characters dissolved a bit as well as the semicolons all seem to be commas now. On the bright side, it works better than it did before but I don't understand it at all. Could you document it for me so I can hand it in?

Actually both are incorrect. They should be:

If you have a programming question ...

or

Have you got a programming question ...

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

No, it's not like that, people who are familiar with any of these words use the as per their convenience.
