If you do that, you need to ask something like "How would describe the
frequency of your Commons use?" rather than "How often do you use
Commons?". It needs to be made clear that you are asking for their
opinion rather than a particular answer otherwise people will be
concerned that they don't know how you are defining the terms and
therefore will think they can't answer the question. I would be
interested to know what proportion of people that click the link to
the survey actually complete it.
