Of course, going around asking people would give something close to reliable data, but gathering enough of it to be able to draw interesting conclusions would require much more time than can be reasonably spent on such low importance piece of homework (it's English, ffs!). Therefore, we chose a topic and a means of gathering data that is guaranteed to give meaningless results, and the report will be a preparation for a "results don't make sense -> write a ton BS anyway" scenario, at least as useful for a career in research. It's gonna be fun.<br /><br />So yes, you can answer a second time if you wish, also send the link to your friends, help your pet parrot complete the questionnaire, or increase the participant count in whatever other way you can come up with.<br /><br />Also: don't be concerned about Someone, he's in a better place now.bucaneerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630311295205545919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6947761174140375422.post-72917560094840509612011-04-20T21:55:33.824+03:002011-04-20T21:55:33.824+03:00Sabotaging the English language is practically my ...Sabotaging the English language is practically my life goal, together with taking over the world (from tomatoes) and moving to Australia, so it's right up my alley!

Will you write a report based on this? First I thought other students would answer to these questions, but then I actually looked at the questions.
