survey

If you are
--a native speaker of American English and
--interested in sharing your opinions about language use for an academic (non profit) study;

...then please consider filling out a short survey. A small incentive: when the survey closes, one person picked at random will get $150.

If you stopped by and the link was broken, it has been fixed...

so please have a look here for more information

comment policy

It is always good policy to distinguish between fact and opinion in discussions of language use, rights and ideology.

Any statement of fact may be challenged. For example:

"A majority of people believe that written language is superior to spoken language."

Here it would be reasonable to ask the author to provide a source for "majority of people believe." A discussion about statistical claims would be constructive (even if the author doesn't think so). However,

"I like bananas."

is opinion. There is nothing constructive to be gained by the challenging of opions, unless you're looking for an argument.
