I just link them to my blog now because it was too much to explain. joeystanley.com/blog/stories...

I wish I had an informed question that asked how many I've studied! I can give a straightforward answer to that one.

This is a very informal survey, but also kind of a pilot to see if such a categorization task is feasible in Qualtrics. I'm kinda pleased to see how remarkably clean the results are, despite reports of many mergers among these words. Perhaps people are influenced most by spelling?

Yeah I had a “public-facing” one that only had published things, and a “job application” version with had papers under review or in progress.

Oh y’know what I think that’s right. I guess it’s also interesting that it didn’t pattern with the other /ol/ words though!

I’ve never considered a fifth group so that’s kinda cool. This is suuuper low stakes though so imperfect methods aren’t a big deal for this.

Ooh! That IS interesting!

They’re fun because it seems like anywhere I go, there’s so much variation!

Okay, so maybe that one is partly to illustrate a question type but also because I'm super curious about what people do.

… and this is probably the kind of stuff I should put in my teaching statement in my tenure portfolio.
