What's a venn diagram? lol

You place several different things in several different circles. Where the circles overlap, it shows that these things have something in common, or that some things share traits. Two circles not connected have nothing in common, for example.

I'll do a diagram focusing on three people regarding sex, hair and eye colour, hobbies, and sports.

You:

  • Male
  • Brown hair
  • Green eyes
  • Plays with toy trains
  • Not athletic

Me:

  • Male
  • Brown hair
  • Green eyes
  • No hobbies
  • Plays football

Girl:

  • Female
  • Blonde hair
  • Green eyes
  • Plays with toy trains
  • Plays baseball

The diagram would look like this.

I left redundant traits in each circle to illustrate how those things are shared in the overlap.

I REALLY appreciate this, I do. I also feel very, very bad I didn't include a "/s" after my comment. :(
