Having lived on each coast, the northern midwest, and the south, and being exposed to and picking up various pronunciations and terms from each area, these dialect survey maps are fascinating to me.
Particularly interesting:
- Bag
- Bubbler vs. water fountain
- “on line” vs. “in line”
- The City
- Sneakers
- Kitty Corner vs. Catty Corner
