This article is 'lie's to children,' bullshit. the man who wrote it has had to dumb it down something chronic.
Here is the original paper in pdf.
http://www.american.edu/tesol/Baron-SeeYouOnlineCorrected64.pdf
after reading it its hard to imagine how he came to his conclusion.
Up to page 16 is mostly references and some nice background info. Some of them i cant find any more and now want to read.
Read page 17 onward and you will figure it out. Its a pity she does not say why many of the male subjects bailed or how many were left (it seems like 3)
25 conversations were monitored 9 male, 9 female, 5 both. many of the male conversations were between 2 people, so it does not give a good reference.
This news website is designed for teens, so it contains allot of the 'lies to children' information we expect from such news forums. Although correct it does not have all the information and many of the facts are embellished to allow better understanding.
the paper is more of a presentation. It does not cover a wide enough area to be anything more. Its more of a breakdown of sentence structure to help build a better foundation for those who follow. Its a very interesting read.
