Point me to precisely the phrase that you see as different.

The second checkbox language, which could very easily affect the interpretation of someone reading the first checkbox.

Thanks for pointing it out. I do hold though, that the document has a much deeper flaw. The phrasing of the model living will is very likely to result in critical confusion. It's easy to prove. Take the document to the mall and ask people to check the boxes, and ask them what they think it (their choice) means.

I do wording comprehension testing for a living. THere is no doubt in my mind that THIS language will FAIL that test.
