Survey for LWers from outside the US: how off putting are instances of this bias?

Note that this measure will tend to underestimate how offputting it is since people who are put off will tend to participate less.

Results as of 7/20/2011:

  • 68% Little
  • 22% Moderately
  • 10% Very

UK reader, not noticed any particularly american bias,

Would suspect there is a 'western' english speaker bias to quite a lot of it though,

Very off-putting.

I see no American bias here. See some others, but not that one. (As an EU located one.)

Not off-putting.

Not off putting at all. From Hungary.
