Contribution

Throughout the survey, simple grammatical errors appear multiple times. The repeated phrase “Please do not, do not provide any personal or identifying information” is one example. The misspelling of “Chagos islands” without capitalisation appears repeatedly. These are not minor lapses. They show a lack of proofreading, a lack of quality control and a lack of respect for the seriousness of the task. A community that has been displaced and silenced for decades should not be given a survey that looks rushed, inconsistent and poorly constructed.
