Comments: The text that appears after the "Other" response is my transcription of what people wrote as a comment. (It was all clean. thanks guys!). A skipped question is distinct from replying "Would rather not say".

Apologies for the formatting. If there is anything that is difficult to figure out, please post here and I will edit for clarity.

In retrospect I left some choices out, such as "Judge" in question 3 and a few obvious choices for websites such as Field and Floor were left out of question 10.

Thanks everyone for participating. It did help me complete my assignment.
