DIALECT QUIZ
This is American centric I think so apologies to the rest of you. You might find it entertaining, however.
The quiz. 3 most; Philly, about where I live. Springfield, MA, where I misspent my youth. Rochester, NY, no clue. 3 least; New Orleans, Jackson, MS, and Lubbock, TX.

All three were in Texas, and all three were because I say "y'all."

Patterson, Yonkers, Boston.
Yonkers is about 6 miles as the crow flies from where I grew up. My Aunt lived in NJ, near Patterson and her husband, my uncle, was from Boston area. A lot of answers were multiple for me with no option to choose more than one.

Fort Wayne IN, Rockford IL, and Toledo OH. Yep. Fort Wayne and Toledo because I say 'pop' and Rockford because I pronounce cot and caught differently? Who doesn't pronounce those words differently? My least similars were all around Boston. Hard to see because the map didn't load properly. I took it twice and got a script error...and I noticed there were some different questions the second time around. |

Tougher Quiz
This quiz at Slate will be tougher for most people. It's 20 machine patent models, scaled-down models of their invention they want patented. It's multiple choice with 4 options.
I found it tough getting 13 out of 20. Go for it.

I got nine, but as the average is also nine I'm relieved that others got even fewer right. That'll do for me.

What 2 words describe you?

Just so you know it's 100% accurate :
Unbelievably Sweet You're the perfect treat -- delightful and sweet. You have the sweetest smile and the most tender love. Your face can brighten any dark day and your jovial nature can fill even passersby with joy. A great many consider themselves lucky to have you in their lives!
