I don't... know if that's what's being dilated here.

Dilators are frequently provided as a set of increasingly-girthy devices for a neo-vagina.

My choice of noun that can also be a verb should have been a clue as to my joke, but then again I'm not that good at this.

They come designed for almost any orifice, paleo vaginas, bums, urethrae, the sky's the limit and no household is complete without at least one good set of dilators!

As someone who actually wrote his master's thesis on gay speech, that looks like a sample size of 7, but also like straight males (white implied) are conditioned to be more sure of themselves. I'd like to see the context.

It came up in an image search. I immediately recognised it as a prime example of an awful chart, but I did not read the page.

Thanks! I just skimmed it and it is indeed a classic sample size of 10, with the "deviant case" being one straight male who for reasons shouldn't be pooled with the two other straight males. The basic methodology seems okay though, but the sample size especially is suspect, as is the selection of transcribed materials. Pretty typical stuff because of time constraints and a lack of good corpora of transcribed speech.

So it really is a sample size of 7 and is just analysis of a transcript of a meeting the student attended.

Jesus, "we got a non representative, non random sample size of ten from an extremely biased pool" is a hell of a way to start a methods section

Could be, could also be "he sounds kinda gay" or even "he was actually talking about something difficult compared to the others". It's totally arbitrary in any case. If you must have so few participants, at least just do one bar per participant with demographics noted, and be sure to say exploratory a bunch when discussing your results.

It's just a piece of university homework that they've posted on their blog, so I wouldn't be too harsh on them for including a crappy sample when they presumably got set an assignment to transcribe a conversation between lectures and do a short study on the resulting data:

That chart reminds me of that genius keyboard layout detector that used to appear in Debian's installer. It would ask you to type characters from a list on screen and within two or three characters it would know the exact keyboard layout you were using.

Others just have you scroll through a huge list of layouts and languages.

I didn't know there were so many Sami orthographies. That's pretty cool, but presumably follows the Finnish tradition of not making they orthography dumb as poo poo, coupled with a lot of distinct dialects/languages.

Small communities separated by great distances, and only davvisamegiella counts in the thousands. The others are in the hundreds or dozens.

I don't quite understand the difference between Finnish and Swedish. Ää? Both languages have the ä, our alphabets are identical. So the difference is a dipthong?
