I sense their bar is low.
I dont see the problem
Cutting out the subclause: “Have you attending?”
But arguably, this Lemming’s expectations about the perfection of education institutions is a bit high.
Yeah it’s a bit awkward, but infuriating? Even mildly infuriating is a stretch.
For sure. I work at a college with a pretty good reputation, and most of the people I work with are the same regular people you’d find working anywhere.
Technically it should be “Have you attended, or are you attending, a college/university?”.
I prefer “have/are you attended/ing a college/university? Yes/no.”
To be fair, usually this crap is made by the university equivalent of HR folks. They aren’t the academics you’d be learning from (although, they will also typo because grammar and subject mastery are not the same thing unless you’re studying grammar!)
Even as a grammar expert, it’s easier to find other’s typos than your own.
I’m a ruthless editor that can drill in and find minute details and the smallest errors in two languages.
I’ve also misspelled my own name in formal documents.
They spelted nope wrong.
As a former lecturer, the issue here is combining two different questions (have you ever went to uni AND are you currently enrolled in a uni?). The best practice is to break it into two separate questions.
I hope they reject you because you’ll very obviously be an issue.

Are you actively searching for things to be annoyed by? I mean, come on. That question is perfectly fine as it is.
