My Qusetionnaire

Re: Gender is no substitute for sex

Indeedy. Or as my old dad used to say "Words have gender, people have sex".

Poor spelling in coursework these days is actually a pretty good indicator of originality - so many of 'em just cut and paste some beautifully spelt thing from t'interweb.

It may be original, but it's certainly wrong.

Fill out his survey, least you can do.
 
Re: Gender is no substitute for sex

For a start, in the absence of an email address, you could all copy and paste his questionaire into a PM, answer his questions and then send it back to him.

He only needs twenty replies so that will take him most of the way there.

He won't have had any instruction on compiling questionaires but with luck he will learn a bit and be able to do better another time.
 
Re: Gender is no substitute for sex

Well said. I've done as suggested - dozy Mark hadn't worked out that he could send his questionnaire back by PM.

That done, am I allowed one more little dig? The absence of an email address raises the suspicion that Siddons might have another agenda. Perhaps he is actually doing a PhD in the socio-psychological reactions to simple questionnaires by people in different socio-economic groups. If so, it would be natural to choose a questionnaire like this one to measure the reactions of socio-economic bands A and B. Somewhere on the web there'll be another about mobile phone use addressed to readers of "Ringtones Monthly", and right now he'll be down at the social security office, asking questions about the TV soap preferences of dole claimants.

Alright, I know I should get a life. But I am supposed to be up a ladder cleaning the bedroom windows, and this is more fun.
 
Sorry I was using the new English Degree Level spell checker... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I remember reading about a Pharmacology degree where the pass level was set at 14% so that they got the required number of passes - sure gives you confidence in NHS staff.

Can we still call it English Degree or is that non-PC as well?
 
Re: Gender is no substitute for sex

Well, I'm sorry but it pisses me off.

This 'student' has all the phenomenal resources of the internet at his disposal, something most of the world can only dream about, and all he can come-up with is this half-arsed, poorly thought-out, utterly pathetic piece of shite.

If he is below the age of 10, I apologise.

If he is doing a PhD on attitudes among online groups, I would love to see it when it's done.

Otherwise it is noteworthy only for its awful squandering of an educational opportunity.

Re: Gender is no substitute for sex

Your generosity of spirit is a credit to the forum. Long may your humanity continue to shine through undimmed by age, infirmity, disability or other disadvantage.
 
Siddons, Ignore the pedants. Put an e-mail on your user details page and I am sure that myself and 19 other people will have a go at your questions. We can copy the qu's to an e-mail and send it to you. You might want to suggest that we don't have to answer every question?

Don't be discouraged by the flippant remarks about your spelling, lots people on this forum can't spell very well either!
 
I agree with all the posts here! and have duly completed the questions posed and returned by PM.

Actually i *think* a "qusetionnaire" is not quite the same thing as as a "questionnaire", and hence it is all probably fine and everyone has fallen into the carefully laid traps of feling annoyed, sympathetic and so forth. Possibly.
 
"Sidon sidon sidon" ---"Sidons your rockin the boat Oh the people all said sidon sidon your rockin the boat"

Could be a spelling mistake in thier somewhere but you know what I mean. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
Rather interesting that there has been not one reply to the replies... my experience of first-timers is that they tend to turn a thread into a dialogue (ok, pedants, not a dialogue, but I dont know the right word for alternating posts with one side constant and the other variable). Sorry, I reckon some sort of troll. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
 
He has replied, personally

Would a troll bother sending a personal message of thanks in response to a returned questionnaire? I don't think Siddons would mind my copying his message to me here:

"thank you for filling in my questionnaire"

Re: Was it a troll or not?

If that wasn't a troll, how about "dinghies in Portsmouth" then?

Or is this the New Generation of Master Mariner???
