Prof/Tech Communicators' Perceptions of Usage Error (Survey Invitation)

[Ryan Boettger <noreply -at- qemailserver -dot- com>]

   Dear TECHWR-L Community,

   Last July, I emailed a survey invitation to professional and technical
   communicators that measured their perceptions of usage error. Over 170
   professionals responded to my survey, but I would like to increase that
   participation level.

   Please consider taking the survey if you haven't already:
   [1]https://unt.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0SACikD4bXBtPmc.

   The survey will record your opinions on errors related to grammar and
   mechanics, punctuation, spelling, style, content, and design. It will
   also ask you to provide examples of sentences that you use to explain
   some usage errors to your co-workers. Respondents are taking an average
   of 25 minutes to complete the survey, and the results will offer a
   better perspective of which error types practitioners value over
   others. Please respond to each question as if you were evaluating the
   writing of a prospective employee/co-worker.

   If you're short on time, the survey software automatically saves the
   responses in your browser for 6 days. This study complies with the
   UNT's Institutional Review Board. Email me at [2]ryan -dot- boettger -at- unt -dot- edu
   with any questions.

   Thanks for your participation,

   -Ryan
