I think Longman scared you off jessix, Longman and I are both adults with Asperger's, and pedantry and what you might call "nit-picking" as well as black and white thinking and liking things to be done the "right way" (being rule bound) are known traits of our condition. Sorry we deflected from your request, and do feel free to repost your request as the moderators will advise you if you have posted anything against rules, and I am sure your post was made with good intent and any transgressions (if there were any) were unintended. Longman is a very experienced HE professional and is qualified to talk about how research should be done, however I am sure he didn't mean to upset you. Us Aspies just say it like it is, and we frequently get misunderstood for it, but it's not meant to upset people.
