IDK! I made this poll so I could test something and just entered random things! Now things are happening!

I totally expected it to be c), if anything! You know, when in doubt, pick C? :D

As per the subject-line, I don't think you can read any significance into the apparent preference for the letter D. However, and for whatever (probably little) it might be worth, I picked D for a reason. Namely, that I was born on the 4th (and so?) four is my favourite number and D is the fourth letter of the alphabet.

Aren't you glad you (sort of) asked?

You mean the people who publish scientific studies with a sample size 6 and then claim that their conclusions are universal aren't practising good science?!

(I am glad you answered, though! I love hearing thought processes for otherwise mundane things.)

Why yes, I very much mean exactly that! Also, pop-sociology books based on interviews the author has conducted with a half-dozen of his or her friends, along with a few hours of surfing the latest American television shows.

*twitch* Yes. I personally want to lobby for newspapers and magazines, if they report on new studies, to add the author, volume where it was published - basically a citation. It wouldn't be much work and it would make things easier for readers who want to look it up and they might actually read it!

This (http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=3912) came across my flist the other day. !
