Quantity was specified. That quantity was singular.
"Have you EVVEERRR been involved in A lawsuit"
Singular.
not, "In ever how many lawsuits have you been in"
"Please list, how many lawsuits you have ever been in"
If I was asked that question, and I wasn't the brightest
spark. I probably would have answered in exactly the way
Hogan did.
Think about WHY he answered it wrong, he DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
THE PURPOSE OF THE QUESTION.
The purpose of the question is to get rid of him if he has a
history that is bad for the case in some way. (I assume,
IANAL). He incorrectly assumed the idea of the question was
to find out IF HE UNDERSTOOD THE LEGAL PROCESS. IE, Have
you ever been involved in a lawsuit - Please tell us about
it, so we can decide if that knowledge that you have IS
USEFUL or HARMFUL.
He answered it the way the question was asked. It was a BAD
QUESTION for finding out about Hogans history. Period.
Try it yourself, use the word "EVER" with the plural of
"Lawsuit" and ask the question again. You never ever use
the word "ever" before the word lawsuits. It doesn't
happen.
The question specified quantity 1.
