A coupons website called VoucherCloud.net has just released the results of a rather bizarre study, revealing that people aren’t all that up on techie-jargon the way you may have thought in 2014.

When asked, 11% of participants guessed that HTML, the computer code used to create websites, is some form of a sexually transmitted disease.

Among the other findings in the survey (which asked questions of over 2,000 men and women aged 18 and up):

• 77% of respondents could not identify what SEO means. SEO stands for “Search-Engine Optimization”
• 27% identified “gigabyte” as an insect commonly found in South America. A gigabyte is a measurement unit for the storage capacity of an electronic device.
• 42% said they believed a “motherboard” was “the deck of a cruise ship.” A motherboard is usually a circuit board that holds many of the key components of a computer.
• 23% thought an “MP3” was a “Star Wars” robot. It is actually an audio file.
• 18% identified “Blu-ray” as a marine animal. It is a disc format typically used to store high-definition videos.
• 15% said they believed “software” is comfortable clothing. Software is a general term for computer programs.
• 12% said “USB” is the acronym for a European country. In fact, USB is a type of connector.
