I divided by age, and took the first 10 from each group.

Just finished tabulating the results, let me tell you I am *very* surprised by some of the answers. It's like hearing that your friends don't agree that *insert least favorite politician* is a creep! Well, it's done now. I just have to start presenting my case against linguistic prejudice more clearly, that's all. I'll forget this ever happened in a few days - block it from my memory.

*grins*

Okay, it's not *that* bad. But... Well, of course, I'm very anti-prescriptivist when I remember to be.

I think some of my answers were influenced by the fact that people who do not speak "proper English" are usually thought of as being less educated and "dumber" by the public as a whole, and thus are more likely to be discriminated against. And this discrimination can make it hard for people to get jobs and stuff.

Boy, some of those questions were tough to answer :D

Well, I only remember the answers from the first 20 people (pretty much) so you lucked out, I don't remember yours.

And yes, they can be.
