In the link he gave (his webpage) -
For the moment my research requires me to record female volunteers (to contrast with the Survey of English Dialects, which used male volunteers). However, in the near future I would like to expand my survey to include male speakers too and I would be happy to talk to potential volunteers of either gender.
So he needs women in pairs first
I can even lapse into
full dialect if he wants me too
I am not common and positively no snob
