If someone tells you a secret and you say "I won't tell a single person."...?

Question

...but then you go and tell several people all at once, did you tell a lie?

Answer 1

Yes, you sure did!  I'm glad you aren't my friend.

Answer 2

No, you said you wont tell a SINGLE person, instead you told SEVERAL.

Also, if everyone you told had a girlfriend/boyfriend, you werent telling single people. :P

Answer 3

Yes.  I wouldn't trust you and no one else should either.

Answer 4

Well technically no because its not one single person. It would be several at once. But its wrong to tell someone that and turn around tell someone.

Answer 5

if your intention was to tell a lie yes you did. if you didnt intend to spread the word, then you're just unreliable for not keeping your word.

Answer 6

yes because you deceived them.

Answer 7

Yeah you lied, and depending on how much you like this person you probably guaranteed she wont be trusting you with any info anytime soon.

Answer 8

yes

when you said "I wont tell a single person" and you told several at the same time, technically thats not a lie because you didnt tell a person on their own BUT what if one of the group you told wasnt married? therefore was single which makes it a lie,lol

love playing with words

Answer 9

Yes, you told person therefore it's a lie.

Answer 10

technically no, as he/she told multiple people and not just a single person.

Answer 11

yes of course you did this a stupid question

Answer 12

of course you lied but when I say I won't tell anyone that means everyone except my husband I always tell him someone's secret because he and I are one anyway

Answer 13

technically no. You found a loophole.

Answer 14

Technically, no. You broke a promise, which is no better than telling a lie.

Answer 15

No. You could also tell only married people.
