12th Annual Writing That Works® Usage Survey

Please fill out the following 10-question usage survey. It covers computer-related terms and controversial issues.

Please mark your preferences, key in any comments and -- when you're finished -- click the "SUBMIT SURVEY" button at the bottom of the page.

Feel free to e-mail or forward the URL for this survey page to others. You also may print it out and share it with your staff. (Note: If completing the survey is a group effort, you may want to summarize the group's findings on paper and then enter it using the online form.)

We'll provide an e-mail summary to Writer's Web Watch subscribers and post the statistical results here at www.WritingThatWorks.com. A full analysis will appear in our print newsletter, Writing That Works. We may quote your comments when we write the summary and analysis.

Thanks for participating. We value your comments.
