D'oh! Oerdin spelling.

[Sava]

I'm trying to pronounce rahbylon. Either I have to say "rah" wrong or it doesn't rhyme with "Babylon".

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

It almost rhymes with an American accent.

[Sava]

æ vs ə

that's what ****s me up

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

rah has got to be pronounced r ah, yes? Babylon goes baabuhlahn, to my ear. It's close.

[Sava]

[rah]

Some people have WAY too much free time today.

[Sava]

indeed

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Yes.

[Moanah]

Has anyone checked the link?

2000% Safe :-) Surveymonkey is a widely used research tool.

[Moanah]

If Moanah is on the level, it would be cool of us to help her/him out. That's all.

Thank you!

You'd probably get more response if you'd tell us whatever you can about your research without it skewing the survey data. Or getting boring to laymen. This is a pretty well-educated crowd, so baby talk not needed.

Of course, that would have worked better in the old days when I actually had some influence around here.

Now I'm just another peon.

Your twin brother on the other hand has super-admin privileges ... maybe you should dress up in his clothes and ban him sometime? At this point, I have to assume that by not doing so you are just shirking responsibility

As for the study, if I thought it was dangerous it'd have been deleted. However, I can't say that the study doesn't need protection against our participation. I'd hate to see someone's dissertation hinge on our input ...

[Sava]

Maybe his study is about the behavior of random internet strangers when approached to participate in a study
