Map takes awhile to load after quiz since they're being hammered. Just give it a minute. Even though I have adopted y'all, parking on any grassy area next to a sidewalk, and know what a service road is and use 'em frequently.. they still nailed my home dialect. Bastards. |
Boston, Newark, Worcester
i guess im the only person in the USA that pronounces Aunt like the a in 'palm' in general, and like ant when im talking bout a specific aunt |

Jesus, this thing is ridiculously accurate. I got New York, Philadelphia and Washington, the three places I've lived (or, in Philadelphia's case, lived near) other than 15 months in Des Moines.

tallahassee, jacksonville, va beach

Apparently "sneakers" is extremely regional. But I've never heard anyone try to correct me on it.

Fremont, Newark and OKC. OKC is near the state I was born in, Newark is near the state I was raised in.
Fremont is based on my answer of firefly, so I think that's out the window. |
