I am so greatful that the What Kind of English Do You Speak? quiz didn't return my results as 90% redneck...if only I were asked, as a true southern gentleman, if I have a gun rack in the back window of my pickup truck (truth: I have neither a gun rack, a gun to put in a gun rack, or a pick up truck). OK, so I am an admitted anomaly...I regress.
At any rate...a wag of the Dragon's Tale to Nicole via Rob for bringing this enlightening subject for all ya'll (in my finest 30% Dixie/Suthun)...good grief, I've lived in the south since I was two and ONLY 30% Dixie?? Perhaps that is where references to tight genes (sic) comes from...arghhh
Reeling this post back into something that sounds academic and somehow related to the general theme of this blog...I have been reading Asking Questions by Seymour Sudman and Norman M. Bradburn...the 1989 version of the newly released Asking Questions: The Definitive Guide to Questionnaire Design...also by Norman M. Bradburn, Seymour Sudman & Brian Wansink. I can only image what an institutional review board would have to say about some of the questions that are asked on the What Kind of English...survey. Anyway, give it a try. Who knows, we may speak the same language!
