Ok that does it, you've been working far too hard. All hard working sociolinguists deserve a little Me Time. And what better way to shake off your cares, lighten your mood, and add a little sparkle to your life than completing a survey!? And not just any survey, oh no. It's the latest rambunctiously robust, irreverently insightful, tangentially topical survey from the crack team of moderators at the one and only Sociolinguistic Events Calendar! https://www.baal.org.uk/slxevents On that there web page you can relive the delights of our past surveys and marvel at their delightful data, gripping graphics, and scintillating scientificality. Once you've done that, head along to this year's survey and tell us what's what! This year it's all about (surprise!) the endless joys of a global pandemic! We carefully cultivated this survey in the calendar lab, then conducted a randomised control trial and found that on average it is 67.4% more fun than a vaccination. Go go go! https://forms.gle/LYRP83GWHfR4Regv8 When the responses tail off I'll write it all up into a report like I did with the others, at absolutely no cost to you! Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back! And of course, make sure to subscribe to the Sociolinguistic Events Calendar, and why not also set it as your browser homepage? https://www.baal.org.uk/slxevents. Then sneak on to your colleagues' computers and do it for them too. They'll totally thank you for it.
