    I'm writing an essay and I need some information. The topic is how different groups of gamers use language differently, specifically the frequency of usage of different terminologies.

    So if you like procrastinating, here's a survey:
    https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/HDB262G

    It's not long. Kind of. There are ten questions but 2 and 3 have... long answers, sort of. You'll see.

    If you feel like being helpful, you can send it on to other gamers, even if all they play is Angry Birds, no point in sending it to people who don't play games though.

    If you have any questions or want to point out an embarrassing type, let me know here.

    Out of curiosity, is this for school/work?

    Anyways that was a fun yet tedious survey (all those phrases man...) hope you get this paper done on time! :D

    Oy... I don't think you could have made a longer list if you tried.

    What do you mean by alpha?

    I can think of two perfectly meanings here (no, alpha-male is not one of them).

    Gaming terminology. Though specifically when I wrote it I meant the development stage.

    Im sorry but i gave up after the "which terms do you understand". Cant you add a "tick all" then untick what you dont ?

    There were maybe 5 i did not tick.

    I don't think so. I did check for a work-around but I don't think there's anything I can do with a free account.
    You can do it! For science! I believe in you!

    Where's the "select all" button for the check box phase? Can't be bothered to click through that.

    I thought about including it an "all of the above" but it would make my graphs harder to make.

    Also I don't think there is an actual button that selects all options.
