Title: Dialect test
Post by: Badwrench on Tue, 24 December 2013, 09:45:18

A recent dialect test from the NY times.  Fun to do even if you are not from the US.  I scored exactly where I live (heavily red in the so. cal. region and blue/yellow everywhere else), but my wife scored upper US on the west, even though she is born and raised in San Diego.
