Whoever put this together might want to ask someone to proof-read the darn thing next time.

Many people checked this, and comments have been opened for months. If you have comments, you can share them on https://gist.github.com/1128166. Some of the mistakes were introduced by Michael Larabel, and I already let him know.

Regarding the question about how are you taking this survey, it was intended to encourage people to print this survey to multiple people, and then go online and fill the results, or actively push somebody who is not interested in the survey. This way, the self-selection bias and non-response bias can be decreased. I'll make a blog post about that soon.
