If I was to re do this project I would keep how they traveled around and spoke to different people but I would have mixed it up more.  It seems like in the beginning they placed to much focus on the rural farmer when it came to language in these areas.  I would have talked to other kinds of people in the same areas to get a better understanding.  I though some flaws were that they talked to male participants more than they did females, it wasnt quite balanced on something that is being done as a study.  I would have looked into taking this study over seas and tried to find out if there are any similarities to language in other countries as there are in our own.  Language is very important in how we perceive other people.  When someone uses improper grammar and constant slang it tends to make them sound less intelligent.  When we speak alot is revealed to other people, especially where we are from but also out level of education.
